  • Hoist Portfolio Holdings v daveaston

    Hi all, wish I had found this site sooner, but here goes,

    9 June 2016 received claim form issued 7 June 2016 at Northampton.

    Claimant: Hoist Portfolio

    Solicitor: Howard Cohen

    Original Creditor: Lloydstsb

    Claim is for sum of £4675.48 in respect of monies owing under an Agreement with the account no.**************** pursuant to The Consumer Credit Act etc. etc.

    15 June 2016: CAB advised debt was statute barred and sent defence of claim stating as such and that the last payment was made on the 23 April 2010.

    After reading things on this site I realise I should have been sending CCA and CPR requests but CAB didn't mention anything about that.

    26 September 2016: Notice of Small Claims Track Allocation. Went to CAB again and they advised to accept hearing in court, no advice about mediation.

    10 October 2016: Exchanged N180 Direction Questionnaires with Claimant.

    9 November 2016: CAB advised to send Limitation Act letter which I did but of course no response, also to try mediation which I started to do but pulled out when I realised I didn't have enough information on what documents the Claimant has.

    So now I am left with a Statement of Case to compile to be sent to the Court and Claimant by 14 December 2016. With the Court Hearing on 3 January 2017.

    The last payment on the Credit Card was made on 23 April 2010, the first missed payment ('to reach your account by date') was 3 June 2010, so I am taking that date as the 'cause of action-breach of contract' date. With the claim form issued on 7 June 2016 do I stand any chance?

    Hi there

    Personally, i would suggest that you make a request under s78 (1) Consumer Credit Act 1974 , id make that request first thing monday morning. Make sure you send the fee of £1.00 and make sure you refer to the request in the statement along with exhibiting a copy of your letter along with proof of posting.

    If they dont comply, they cannot enforce the agreement and at least it would give you a second string argument.

        Just to let you know I got an early Christmas Present from Hoist Portfolio this morning!....a 'Notice of Discontinuance'. Really fantastic news that I was not expecting. I can only think it is because they don't have any documentation after my s78 request which they would have received on Nov. 29th. The Notice of Discontinuance is dated Nov. 30th. The thing is I cracked under the strain last Thurs.1st and telephoned the Mediation Service asking for mediation, because I didn't think my 'Statute Barred' claim would stand up in court, which of course is now irrelevant. It just shows how they try it on, hoping you will accept mediation.
        Anyway a special thank you to pt2537 for the advice about sending the letter, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!mashappy:

          They dont like taking risks, if they cant comply with s78 then they lose and they know it
