Afternoon,
I recently received a claim form from the county court business Center. The claimant is Lowell who have been sending me letters on and off to my old address for a while now- it is for a vodaphone account that I stopped paying back in late 2011- early 2012 and since then I have had no contact with anyone, just been ignoring the letters sent by various companies until I got this in the post on Friday and have been having trouble sleeping since!
I've never had to deal with something like this in the past and have no experience.
Since receiving I have done some research on this site but to be honest most seems like jibba jabba to me.- so far I have logged on to the money claim site and "acknowledged" the claim and chose to defend in full.
I understand I now have to send off certain things to Lowells solicitors but what I am not sure of and the time period I have now. Basically I am unsure on everything herein!
The letter reads as follows.
The "particulars of claim"
1) the defendant entered into an agreement with vodaphone under account reference xxxxxxx (the agreement).
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 31/07/2015 and notice given to defendant.
4) despite repeated requests for payment, the sum of £812.79 remains due and outstanding.
And the claimant claims.
A) the said sum of £812.79
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, accruing at a daily rate of £0.178, but limited to one year, being £65.02.
C) costs
The issue date is 23 Jan 2017
The total amount is £1007.81
Please help me on this one I have absolutely no clue what to do!
Kind regards and many thanks
