MKDP Llp ccj notice/small claims track notice

[bruceseaton]

Hi All

I followed an old post on here regarding the above company Mkdp ,who had been chasing an old debt for HSBC.

 

I know the debt is over the 6 year statute time limit and anyway basically ended up with a ccj form from Northampton (CCBC) , which I replied to the acknowledgement of service and following another thread on here (Stokes v Mkdp) asked Mkdp to furnish me with the details of the debt etc, so I could enter a defence of the claim.

 

Mkdp eventually just before the 28 day deadline replied saying they did not have the details at the moment and would need to get them from HSBC,and this would take at least 8 weeks to obtain.

 

I entered this in my defence and informed the court they had failed to provide them and that without them I couldn't make any decisions on the debt(again using a template from here).

 

I have now received a notice of proposed Allocation to small claims Track and a request to fill out a directions questionaire and it must be returned by 30th April 2014.

 

the letter states

 

1.this is now a defended claim.

 

2. it appears this case is suitable for allocation to the small claims track.

if you believe that this track is not the appropriate track for the claim, you must complete box c1 on the SC DQ(N180) and explain why.

 

3.you must file it with the court office by 30th April (and serve on all other parties)

 

At this point my main questions I need help on are, Am I better to agree to the small claims track as to reject it? and do i just fill the form in and send to the court?and what about the (serve copies on all other parties) ?does this mean I photocopy the completed form and send it to Mkdp and to my local court?

 

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give on the subject.

Hi Bruce and welcome to CAG

 

If the claim amount is below 10K and you are in receipt of the N180 then it is Small Claims Track anyway.You serve a copy on the claimant and submit the DQ to the court that issued it.
