  • Co-op energy vs johnybegoodtoday - £5k Gas+Elec - NOT MY DEBT - Not my account number

    Hi Guys,

    I have received a court claim, all details below, from the county court business centre for gas and/or electric on an account number that is not mine and I believe is not registered to my address. I know nothing of this debt bar the account number they have given me which is not mine.
    I have acknowledged the claim and am asking for documents under CPR 31.14 as advised here, but it is not clear in my case as to what documents I should ask for.

    Issue Date: 10 MAY 2016
    Amount approx: £4.5k plus interest = £5,000+
    Claimant: Co-op energy
    Solicitor: HLW KEEBLE HAWSON – via Credit Style Limited (I think have bought it)
    Original Creditor: Co-op energy

    Particulars of Claim: [ Typed EXACTLY as written – Please note the “on £8.00” ? ]

    The Claim is for the cost of gas and/or electricity supplied to the Defendant And the Claimant claims 4592.68 GBP, Account number MCCOEXXXXXX. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from 03/12/2014 to 06/05/2016 on £8.00 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £1.01.

    Is the debt Statute Barred? Don’t know
    List any letters you have sent: I have acknowledged claim (MCOL on line), about to send CPR 31.14 request

    Any Other Info: My house is supplied by Co-Op for G+E but under a different account number that is paid for the last 3 years by direct debit and is up to date. (Prior to that it was with Npower for years past and all paid up) The account number on claim form I believe is not for my house (I do not know where it is for) but matches my first initial and my surname.

    This is all I have received beforehand:
    19/10/2015 – letter from Co-op “Threat of legal action” – ignored it as thought it was a mistake as my account is ok and up to date
    26/11/2015 – Letter from Co-Op “Notice of agent to attend” I thought I would explain to them when they got to me.
    07/04/2016 – Hand delivered letter from Credit Style Limited – 7 days to pay
    12/05/2016 – Court claim form received as above.

    Please can you advise me as to what documents I should request sight of in my letter under CPR 31.14 as there appears to be none listed in the claim? Or anything else I should do at this stage?
    Many thanks in anticipation,
    Johnybegoodtoday

    It would seem that I posted this in the wrong place so I have re-posted it in Utilities - Sorry, I am a newbie
