Re: Hoist portfolio county court claim help!

Hi Nem,

Thank you for your reply.

This is what I've got so far having amended the defence template. I've tried to add in a bit about the terms and conditions as you've mentioned.

I received the claim xxxxxxx from the County Court Business Centre on xx March xxxx.

2: Each and every allegation in the Claimants statement of case is denied unless specifically admitted in this Defence.

3: The claim is for an overdraft facility.

4: The Claimants statement of case fails to give adequate information to enable me to properly assess my position with regards to the claim.


5. The Claimants statement of case states that the account was assigned from MKDP LLP (Ex HSBC) to Hoist Portfolio Holdings 2 LTD on xxxxxxx. The Defendant does not recall receiving notice of this assignment.

6: On the xxxxxxx I sent a request for inspection of documents mentioned in the claimants statement of case under Civil Procedure Rule 31.14 to Howard Cohen and Co. I requested the Claimant provide copies of the Notice of Assignment.

7. Howard Cohen and Co has not sent any of these documents to me.

8: I have asked the Claimant if we may agree to extend the time period allowed for filing of my defence pending receipt of documents (as allowed under CPR 15.5), but they have failed to respond.

9. Under Civil Procedure Rule 16.5 (4) Where the claim includes a money claim, a defendant shall be taken to require that any allegation relating to the amount of money claimed be proved unless he expressly admits the allegation. Therefore It is expected that the Claimant be required to prove the allegation that the money is owed as claimed.

10. The Claimants statement of case fails to give adequate details of the agreement including the terms and conditions of the
overdraft facility.

11. I request the court orders the Claimants to provide the necessary documentation in order for me to fully plead my case else the Claim should stand struck out.

12. In the event that the relevant documents are received from the Claimants I will then be in a position to amend my defence, and would ask that the Claimants bear the costs of the amendment.

13. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief as claimed or at all.

Statement of Truth

The Defendant believes that the facts stated in this Defence are true.

Hello Vanessa,

That's good I can't see on reading back that there is anything more to add.

Hi vanessa
have you filed your defence yet?

I think, but am not sure that the claimants should have been sending you regular statements, if they haven't that could be used in your defence.
I wouldn't like to tell you which section of the CCA it is but maybe [MENTION=6]Amethyst[/MENTION] [MENTION=551]pt2537[/MENTION] [MENTION=55034]nemesis45[/MENTION] [MENTION=87380]Diana M[/MENTION] could give you more guidance

If you have already sent your defence in then it can wait for the witness statement

Hi warwick65

The court claim is for an overdraft.
Is the CCA applicable?

NB - I tried to PM you but it came back 'return to sender', lol!

Hi warwick65

Is the CCA applicable?

I thought that now especially, the consumer credit act did cover overdrafts although of course S77-79 requests are not valid

As I said, I may be wrong

My apologies, I wasn't clear in my post.
Overdrafts are covered by the CCA, but with some exemptions (notably part V).
I was just trying to clarify (in my own mind) whether o/d's have a statutory requirement for regular notices for sums in arrear, & , if so, what the sanctions are for failure to do so.

NB.....I'm looking back to Coutts v Sebestyen to see if that case sheds light......

Re: Hoist portfolio county court claim help!

No worries, hence me throwing it back for others.

All depends at the moment if the defence has been sent.

Re: Hoist portfolio county court claim help!

Hi,

Have just received allocation to small claims track directions questionnaire in the post, dated on the last day they had to respond for a minute I thought they might have forgot but no such luck! Have not received anything else yet. So is it a case of just filling this in and sending it back and does this have to be sent recorded? and then what next?

thanks

Re: Hoist portfolio county court claim help!
