Hello Teeder,

Cabot does pull tricks like this at times in the hope of getting a settlement.

How much is still owing?
How much are you paying each month?
I recommend sending Carboot a request for a copy of the agreement under the provisions of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 there's a template in the green box above for you to amend to suit your case.

There is a £1.00 to pay use a postal order for this and mark it " For Statutory Fee Only" send this by signed for post so you can check delivery.

Cabot has 12 + 2 Working Days to comply, if they fail to comply in time the alleged debt is rendered unenforceable until they do provide the agreement.

As this date back to 2002 they may have problems getting a copy.

Can you please post a copy of the claim form here after removing your name address and the claim number or type in the particulars of claim word for word as there is another request for information to be sent to Mortimer Clarke ( which is Cabot's in house " legal department".

I have a letter dated april 2008 stating cabot have bought the debt and that the agreed monthly repayment plan with goldfish bank now needs to be maintained with cabot. I have kept up the plan and have never missed a payment.
I dont understand why they are now taking me to court

The short answer is they're taking you to court because they can.

It doesn't seem fair or right since you've faithfully paid what was mutually agreed for the last nine years or more. Sadly debt purchasers are commercially motivated so morals don't seem to enter the equation.

What you may now need to decide is whether a court would consider ongoing payments to be an admission of liability for the debt/claim.

File the Acknowledgement of Service online stating that you intend to defend all of the claim. Do not enter anything in the "Defence" box at this stage.

How much are they claiming in round figures?

What do I need to ask the solicitors for

The next thing to do is send off a s.77-79 CCA Request to Cabot with a copy to Mortimer Clarke Solicitors.

Mike770 has posted a link to the forum's template here:

CCA Request || CPR 31.14 Request

If you need help completing the CPR 31.14 Request template then ask on your thread.

I would also send a Subject Access Request to the original creditor so you have got the full history of the account which will prove useful as the proceedings develop.

Don't let this spoil your Easter.
