Recieved 2 Claim forms

Re: Recieved 2 Claim forms

Thanks Diana, sorry AOS? Is thathere the same as the CAA? And is it going to the claimant or the solicitor?

Aland what about the" request under the provisions of Civil Procedure Rule 31.14" as mentioned in an earlier post.

I will start a new thread for the smaller claim

EDIT: Sorry, was reading posts on my mobile, missed most of what you said. So AOS being Ackowledgement of Servive. I am going to do that online now. As for the CCA and CPR requests do these go to the claimant or the solicitors?

Re: Recieved 2 Claim forms

That's the bit that has thrown me they are both 2013. Will they go from this date for the 6 years?

The default dates aren't relevant in the grand scheme of things right now.

You simply need to deal with the issue in hand which is to file the AOS for both claims and send the essential s77-79 CCA and CPR 31.14 Requests.

Oh, and start a separate thread for Claim 2 please

Re: Recieved 2 Claim forms

I don't think you need to throw in the towel just yet.

I know it's a faff dealing with claims but the Beagles will help you every step of the way.

You could file your Defence the day before you go on holiday and then sit back and enjoy your trip.

The court is unlikely to give you an extension of time to file your Defence (a suggestion made in post # 9) just because you're going on holiday so I see no point in asking.

There are letters you can send which will protect your legal position. Send them on Monday.

Re: Recieved 2 Claim forms

I have been thinking about this, and would like to know what your opinion is.

With us going away and other things going on in our life at the minute. We really don't need the hassle of requesting this, meeting this deadline on time...etc

What about if we just accept liability and offer a nominal amount each month £5- £10. I pay all our house old bills and we use my partners account for day to day expenses and food shopping.

If we put on the expenses form as though she pays some of the bills, are the likely to accept a small amount each month for the debt, or will they require proof that she is paying said bills. She doesn't get paid much around £1100 / month so although she is not directly paying council tax / rent etc... she is paying for our other costs.

Thanks

Re: Recieved 2 Claim forms

Claim 1 - £2559.27

"The claimant claims payment of the overdue balance due from the defendant under a contract between the defendant and shop direct dated on or about Apr 04 2009 and assigned to the claimant on Aug 12 2013"

Claim 2 - £949.41

"1) the defendant entered into a consumer credit act 1974 regulated agreement with vanquis
2)the defendant failed to maintain the required payments and a default notice was served and not complied with.
3)the agreement was later assigned to the claimant on 4/8/2013 and notice given to the defendant.
4)despite repeated requests for payment, the sum of £758.71 remains due and outstanding
And the claimant claims
A)the said sum of £758.71
B) interest pursuant to s69 county court act 1984 at the rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue. Accruing at a daily rate of £0.166, but limited to one year being £60.70
C) costs"

The higher amount debt is capquesthe (Restons solicitors limited) the smaller debt Lowell (Lowell Solicitors)

Since you have two claims from two different Claimants, issued by two different solicitors, it would make sense to have two separate threads since these claims won't necessarily travel through legal proceedings at the same speed and/or need the same advice.

Why don't you start a new thread for Claim 2 (Lowells) and leave Claim 1 (Capquest/Restons) here on this thread.

This will avoid any accidental misunderstandings as to which claim needs what advice and when

If you have any problems you can ask @Kati nicely if she'll help you and maybe export any posts on this thread to your other new thread if needed.

Re: Recieved 2 Claim forms

Thanks for the update. How long do they have to get that information back to me? As stated we go away May 15th for 2 weeks. What if I go away before I recieve the information? Is there anyway to delay this until we get back in June?

Thanks

CCA Request has a 12 + 2 Working Days Time Scale For Compliance Starting On The Date The Request Is Received, CPR 31. 14 has a nominal 7 days BUT CPR 31.14 my be declined on the grounds that it does not apply to small claims. It does but only until the claim is allocated to SCT.

I suggest you inform the court and the claimants solicitors that you will be away giving the specific dates and request and extension of time to meet court dead lines.

Re: Recieved 2 Claim forms

What is the claim Issue Date on those forms (top right hand corner)?

You have 33 days from that date to file your Defence unless you agree an extension of time with the other side under CPR 15.5 in which case you (as Defendant) will need to inform the court in writing.

So work out whether that deadline falls on a date when you are away on holiday next month.

Di

Issue date is 17th April,, so I make the 20th May. So yes that does fall on a day when we will be away.


Thanks

Re: Recieved 2 Claim forms

Hi MrMRJ

At the moment all you need to do is acknowledge the claims and tick the box intend to defend all

Then , depending on what the claims are about will depend how you proceed

You may think that the claims are statute barred but how many of us can remember everything we have paid or written in the last 6 years, I know I can't.

As Nemesis said, it would help if you posted up the exact working of the particulars of claim
