Carter Claim forms for old vodafone debt.

[Rocketronnie]

Hi all

my dad let me know yesterday that he had got some forms from the court and didn't know what they were for

 

 

had a look and it seems they are taking him to court the forms are dated 19th November.

 

After reading the form and speaking too my dad it seems

 

 

the debt was incurred when he moved house approx 3/4 years (so not statute barred) ago

and stopped paying the mobile contracts he had with Vodafone as their name and an account number is under particulars.

 

He told me he had been getting letters about the account but he just ignored them hoping they would disappear

(daft i know) and he has binned them all so i can't review any of those.

 

The original debt was for £646.84 claiming 8% interest since 28/03/2013 = £33.32

so amount claimed is £680.16,

court fees £55.00,

Solicitors Costs £70.00

= Total amount £805.16.

 

What do you guys think he course of plan is?

He isn't denying hte debt just the extra fees are not ideal

and he doesn't have the £800 to pull out in one sum.

 

Never had to deal with these papers i.e filling them in so any help would be appreciated.

 

Many Thanks x

Why did he stop paying if he doesn't now deny the debt?

[Rocketronnie]

Hi as far as i know he moved from his previous address got in to some finacial difficulty and stopped paying for the contracts.

 

Guessing this now got sent to dca and its spiraled from there.

[mjt2013]

So did he not let Vodafone know he was in difficulty?

 

I don't really see what can fairly be done about this debt, it seems like your father admits it's owed but just couldn't or wouldn't pay it and so the debt has been pursued through the court as a last resort.

[dx100uk]

if the debt were all real

Vodafone would not have sold it.

 

 

its quite common for carter/lowlife to push through these mobile debts

as they know most don't get contested.

and there little chance of paperwork appearing.

 

 

easy money on a default judgement.

 

 

please read the other voda/carter threads in this forum.

 

 

DEFEND IT ALL

[AndyOrch]

Its obviously a real debt and one that is outstanding...Rocket look at the date on the summons...you have 33 days in total to deal with this subject to how you wish to respond.

5 deemed served so 28 days remaining (if defending) ...14 to Acknowledge service and if defending a further 14 days to submit a defence.

 

Regards

You would need grounds if you were going to defend the claim and from what you've said it doesn't seem that you have any so far. I don't really understand dx100uk's position on the facts of this case and I'd be slow to indicate an intention to defend.

Hi Rocketronnie,

 

If your dad would like any help from me with this could you ask him to email me with his details via the Contact us form here and quote the code WRT135 - CAG Forum in the subject line?

 

Once sent he'll receive an automated reply with a reference number. To make sure it reaches me could you update the thread with this and I'll get back to him as soon as possible?

 

Kind regards,

 

Lee
