  • **SET ASIDE** Bryan Carter - CCJ without my knowledge, do I have to go to court?

    Original creditor Capital one, Lowell portfolio

    Hi everyone, I realise that I've probably left this too late but perhaps someone can be of assistance.

    I received a notice of issue of warrant of control from Newport county court which instructed me that I had failed to make payment of a CCJ and that I had to pay £172.25 for the warrant and £224.27 after payment of the warrant. I was also warned of bailiff action if I did not comply.

    As soon as I read this notice, I phoned the court because I wasn't aware of ever having a CCJ. I was told by the court that there was in fact a CCJ in place.

    I signed up for a free credit report with Noddle and sure enough there was a CCJ in place on 07/11/2013 from a Northampton court, the only thing is, I don't ever recall receiving any notification about this and I was never given the oppurtunity to defend this claim.

    Perhaps now is a good time to mention that I have suffered with severe generalised anxiety disorder, agoraphobia and depression for 17 years and I am taking Escatalopram, Diazepam and Quetiapine daily. My memeory is appalling and it is quite possible that I have a debt with capital one. But I am adamant that i did not receive any documents regarding a CCJ and I would have been a nervous wreck (like I am now).

    I was advised by the court that I could fill in forms N244 and EX160 in order to have the judgement set aside and to help with court costs.

    I have completed the forms and sent them off to Newport court. I also sent them medical evidence from my Doctor. I explained that I had no knowledge of the CCJ up until I received the warrant of control.

    I also sent a subject access request form to Bryan Carter and asked them to provide me with proof of the debt. I have yet to receive any comunication regarding the SAR but I have received a witness satement from Lowell Portfolio.

    The witness statement basicaly states that:
    • I took out the original agreement with Capital One on 5th DEC 2007

    • I defaulted on the 25th NOV 2008.
    • I made a payment of £10 on the 30th July 2011 and that I had failed to make any more payments
    • I failed to respond to a claim in November and that a judgement in Default was obtained on NOV 2013
    • I set up a direct debit on 30th SEPT 2015 ( that did actualy happen because I was petrefied of a bailiff coming to my house, but I cancelled it when I decided to dispute the debt)
    • They wrote to me on the 13th of October confirming that they are not the data controllers and that the SAR has been referred to the respondant and that I should also contact capital one directly.And the SAR does not affect my liability for the debt. (I have received no such letter )


    The witness staement also states that it will take more time for them to provide documents of the account due to the age of the debt and that I have no valid defence or prospect of successfully defending the claim.

    The hearing date is 27th NOV 2015

    I cannot attend due to my medical condition.

    Thank you for your help.

    Re: Bryan Carter obtained a CCJ without my knowledge, do I have to go to court?

    Have you moved address since taking out the capital 1 card and did you inform them or Lowell of your new address

    Uncle Bryan likes writing to a previous address and getting judgements by default

      I have moved twice since I supposedly took out the capital one card, but i was living at my current address when the CCJ was supposedly sent.
      Thanks for the reply.

            Paragraph 10 of Bryan carters witness statement:
            The claim was issued on or around 10 October 2013. The Claim was properly served on th Applicant by the couurt at the Applicant's current address of: (my current address). This is the same adress as on the Aplicants Application. The Respondent has not been informed by the court that the Claim Form was returned.

            11:
            The Applicant failed to respond to the Claim and the Judgment in Default of Acknowledgement was properly obtained on 7 November 2013. A copy of the Judegment Order would have been sent to the Applicant by the Court to his current address.
            sorry for the double post

              Lowell are a debt collection agency

              Bryan Carter is an antique solicitor who should have been put out to graze years ago. He has been known (Alleged) to prostitutes his name to these debt collection agencies when not doing claims himself. Just because you get a letter with his details on does not mean they came from him.

              Your defence will be that the claim form must have been sent to a previous address and that you never received it to submit a defence

              The important thing to remember is do you have a reasonable chance of winning another court claim over this debt even if the original judgement is set aside??

              Send Uncle Bryan an email and ask then to send a copy of the orignal claim form by emai as you never received the original. You can then confirm what address it was sent to

                I will get on it straight away. Do you really think I have a chance? I believe that Uncle Bryan (LOL!) has me by the short and curlys because I had made one payment in the past and I set up and imediatly canceled a direct debit.

                    The key will be to have this set aside is to concvience the judge that you have a reasonable chance of being sucessful if another claim is instigated after a set aside has been granted

                    - - - Updated - - -

                    Look on any letters he has sent since you applied to have the judgement set aside, if not plenty of people have and i will see if i can dig it out

                    Remember to include the claim number in any email to him

                      He did in fact send me an email stateing that "The Judgment Order would have been sent to you by the County Court Business Centre by post. If you do not have a copy of this you can obtain a copy by post."
                      When I google the Northampton County Court Business Centre I keep getting an address for the county court bulk centre. Is that the same place?
                      4th Floor, St. Katharine's House, 21-27 St Katharines St, Northampton NN1 2LH

                        Yes that will be money claim on line

                        When you phone the court ask them what address they have on file for you where correspondence are being sent

                        Have the claim number to hand as you will need that

                          Telephone number for the bulk centre is not in service. Looks like I'll have to email them instead.

                              Hi, so I phoned the Northampton Court and asked them for a copy of the original claim form and I was told by a nice lady that they would not have a copy because it was sent out electronically. And that I should contact Newport court because they are dealing with the case now, but they wouldn't have a copy of the original either.

                              I phoned Newport, court, the gentleman on the phone told me that they did not have a copy of the original either.
                              I asked him politely, " if Northampton doesn't have a copy, and Newport doesn't have a copy, and I didn't receive a copy, how can you be sure a copy was sent out?"
                              He replied " put it in writing and send it to our email address"

                              So I am now in the process of emailing them.
