Hello

I’m happy to help.

First things first.

What is the precise name of the Claimant on the claim form?

Hoist has lack of FCA authorisation issues so this would be my starting point.

From what you say the claim Issue Date is 16th January so there is time to form your Defence strategy.

The Particulars of Claim appear to be vague (which could be good news).

When did you open this account, and was it initially a Barclaycard or possibly an Egg, Goldfish or Morgan Stanley credit card?

Hey Di, thanks for your reply.

The precise name of the claimant is Hoist Finance UK Holdings 1 Limited.

Not sure when the account was open, I will try and find that out as I have to go through a lot of paperwork. But the account was initially a Barclaycard account.

Thanks once again!

Hey Di, thanks for your reply.

The precise name of the claimant is Hoist Finance UK Holdings 1 Limited.

Well they lack FCA authorisation to issue legal proceedings.

I'll read back through your thread but don't post any documents on the forum in order to protect your identity. If you want me to look at anything you can email me direct di@joannaconnollysolicitors.co.uk

Jo explains the FCA authorisation issue here >

Both of these companies are not authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority to exercise the rights of a lender. They rely on the para 55 FSMA 2000 servicing exemption.

Their cases, or their predecessors Hoist Portfolio Holding 2 Limited and Hoist Portfolio Holding 2 Limited, rarely reach trial in cases we are involved with. They have not been successful at trial with us.

We look forward to using the same legal arguments in the future against Hoist which we used against Idem Capital Securities Limited in the recent successful FCA authorisation Appeal where the Circuit Judge found that the para 55 FSMA 2000 servicing exemption did not allow the unauthorised debt purchaser to issue proceedings in the county court.

The Hoist companies also have issues with their assignment process and documentation.

If you are currently defending a claim with either of the Hoist companies, whether stayed or ongoing, or they have obtained a Default Judgment against you and you have any query please post any queries on this thread..

There's also a thread about this legal issue which you might find interesting here >

Hi Reebok

As this is for a substantial amount I would be talking to Di to see if you have a defence - as it is over 10K Joanna Connolly might take it on as a conditional fee arrangement - that is a no win no fee type thing and if you win, they pay costs.

BUT I have no connection to the firm other than being a former client so discuss it with Di first
