      Update:
      Received a letter today (18th Feb) dated 13th Feb (the day I entered my defence).
      Court has acknowledge defence. A copy is being served on claimant etc.. The claimant may contact you directly to resolve any dispute....If dispute cannot be resolved informally, then claimant will inform the court they wish to proceed.

      Where he wishes to proceed the claimant must contact the court within 28 days after receiving a copy of defence. After that period has elapsed, the claim will be stayed. The only action the claimant can then take will be to apply to a judge for an order lifting the stay...

      from HM Courts & Tribunal Service.

      Guess I now wait until they have seen my defence..Oh goody!

            Letter only arrived this morning BTW..(21st)

            I presume this means they cant come after me again so I can avoid the hassles?

              Gone, not likely to return unless Lowell try to sell the debt on, but you have a good answer now if that happens,

                  That the matter had been the subject of a CC claim that had been discontinued.
                  The very worst scenario is begging letters from Lowell quoting your " moral obligation to pay them".
                  Ignore such approaches if it happens.

                      Morning all, Well, I'm back again. Yup, lowlifes have been in contact via mail. This time it seems they have done their research properly and got the account number correct. As it is a different account number, I cant really say it has already been the subject of a CCJ claim. I therefore will have to offer something, I dont work, am a stay at home dad as my wife is covering all bills (just) with her wage. Just wonder what my first initial step should be. I have recently lost a relative so wont be dealign with this immediately. Have to travel to Wales on Wednesday for funeral so this isn't a priority for me. Thanks again. (Uni has finished for the summer so can deal with this without worrying about deadlines).

                        Debt is like any other trap, easy enough to get into, but hard enough to get out of.

                            If you don't recognise the account No. and can't find any judgement recorded then Lowell must be put to strict proof of their claims.

                            I can put a draft letter together if you wish.
