Lowell county court claim
cwa
Posts: 3 Newbie
On the 17th of Feb I received a county court claim stating that I owed Lowell £744 under a non regulated communications agreement with Vodafone.
Lowell were apparently assigned the claim in 2009.
I've acknowledged the claim, however I am not sure how to start my defence.
In 2007 I had an 18 month contract with Dot Mobile, in May 2008 Vodafone took over Dot Mobile and promised to keep me on the same terms as my previous contract, however within a month I received a bill for £500, I refused to pay. Vodafone cancelled my line and stopped contacting me.
Six year later Lowell are trying to claim the money.

If its 6 years since you last paid them anything you should not have acknowledged the debt as it would have been statute barred and they would not be able to chase you for it....dont know what the situation will be now though....hopefully someone with more experience will reply to you xDebt FREE thanks to YNAB0

Looks like cwa's debt would not be statute barred until at least May 2014, so not yet.
If so then they started the court claim in time within the 6 years and it can't be statute barred.Still rolling rolling rolling......

was this a signed in store contract ?
If so the chances are they can not find the contract, or recreate a copy as the form is bust.Be happy...;)0
