Asset/Link/Kearns Letter of claim 2007 HBOS card debt

[Flash78]

Hi, I’m new to the site and desperately looking for some advice please.

 

I have today received a letter from Kearns solicitors dated 08/02/23 with a letter of claim. 

the letter states they have been instructed to act on behalf of LC Asset 2 S,.a.r.l,

the debt was legally assigned to LC Asset on 19/07/22 with Link financial Outsourcing limited being appointed to administer and recover the account.

 

The original agreement was 29/05/07, the original creditor Bank of Scotland , if required you may request a copy of the credit agreement. 
 

due to your default the full balance is due and outstanding, Link Financial  Outsourcing Limited has attempted to negotiate repayment of the account with you but has however been unsuccessful. 
 

Failure to respond will result in court proceedings against you.

 

I simply stopped making payment around Covid as could no longer afford to do so, I think I had a short payment break and simply never reinstated payment. The balance owed is is £3;376,62, probably late payment fees etc added.

 

are LC Asset  2 and Link Financial the same. Company?

Or has the debt been bought twice?

I am in no position to offer any repayment at the minute How do I defend this please?

 

What is likely going to be the outcome? Will I receive a CCj?

dont forget the CCA request too

yes you've alot to catch up on

 

1st a DCA is not a BAILIFF

and have 

ZERO legal powers on ANY debt no matter WHAT it's type.

 

2nd 

Link under their various trading name, are the very very worst scammers out there

their (if he is still CEO) Paul built several multi million £ mansions in london from scamming people.
