  • Lowell CCJ for old Opus {CITI] card debt

    Hello
    In a nutshell,
    A CITI card taken out in Feb 2000, was moved to OPUS, Last payment 28 Dec 2011
    Lowell took over the debt in late 2012 although I was in dispute.

    Immediately issued a Statutory Demand in 2013
    They LOST the court case and the Stat Demand was set aside due to Opus credit card Ts& Cs were not correct and proof of mis selling.

    Now just received a County Court claimform and Lowell have piled on £880 worth of interest charges (original debt £4300).

    I need help...
    Can they send a claimform after a Stat Demand has been set aside?

    Can the pile on Interest as this has been in default for almost 6 yrs?
    I have sent a CCA & CPR request to Lowell (with £1) on 25th May no response to date (15 June)

    Particulars Of Claim:
    1)The defendant entered into a consumer credit act 1974 regulated agreement with Opus under account ref 005474************
    2) The defendant failed to maintain the required payments and a default notice was served and not complied with (this was in 2012)
    3) The agreement was later assigned to the claimant on 29/05/2012 and notice was given to the defendant.
    4) Despite repeated requests for payment, the sum of £4209.71 remains due.
    And the claimant claims
    a) The said sum of 34209.71%
    b) Interest pursuant to s69 County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% per annum from the date
    of assignment to the date of issue, occurring at a daily rate of £0.923, but limited to one year being £336.78
    c) Costs

    I received a letter from Lowell Solicitors confirming the outline that this relates to
    "Opus account opened on 16 Feb 2000. The last payment 28 December 2011" My request (cca/ cpr) has been sent to the original creditor"

    I have had no further response.

    As I need to put together a defence after the "Acknowledgement of service " was sent, I am a little confused how to approach this.

    The last payment to the original creditor was December 2011: Is this "statute barred" or does the timer start from the date of LowellsDefault notice?
    The "original creditor was actually "CITI" bank. I cannot find any agreement for OPUS

    Lowell have taken me through the court with this same account in 2013 with a Stat Demand and the court through out and "set aside" the case. Can this be put in my defence statement?

    Just need a little help from you guys if possible.


    Thank you
