Lowells have issued a CCJ please help

Re: Lowells have issued a CCJ please help

I've checked and theres no record, i asked them for details of the payment such as what card was used etc so i could check it but no reply they went straight to the ccj

There is no ccj. It's a claim. Nothing else.

Try not to stress as we'll demand they send evidence of this alleged payment in the defence.

Re: Lowells have issued a CCJ please help

Hi mate thanks for helping

I asked the question to lowells and they said id made a payment of £49 5 years ago to them which i asked for proof of and what payment method etc as i had no record of it, no reply to that. i never cancelled my contract id basically complained and complained over the course of a year with no compensation from vodafone or help in my issues so i just cancelled my DD, at the time i saw it as they were in breach as they weren't providing a service i was paying for... maybe a little young and naive? so yes as far as they were concerned i owed the rest of my contract, I've asked lowells for the original signed contract and had no reply, i told lowells about the companies to vodafone which they said they'd investigate... nothing from them. yes i said defend all on the site mate, i still have the emails asking lowells for this information and them saying they'd speak to vodafone to retrieve them but then nothing has come of it, surely this is ok as I'm just making sure i owe the money they haven't provided me any evidence that i do owe it and now issued me this cci! seems really unfair

Ive had similar. I was with Voda and had a contract iPad with no sim for the entire 2yr period. Complain and complain. Nothing. So I just left all my contracts to expire and left them.

They're awful lately. I must be the only person to get a legal threat based on my comments on their FB page

Anyway, good luck. Sadly it appears the bill is for the remainder of the contract but if that's a year at around £50pm then you can see where the £900 or so comes from (fees / charges / legal)....

We'll help as best we can.

Do you have any bank account records from 5 years ago that you could check?

Re: Lowells have issued a CCJ please help

they're claiming i made a payment to the account 5 years ago (which I have no record of) so i asked them for proof of this

. . . . I've already been on the MCOL site and acknowledged the claim

Hello Stav and to AAD.

Thank you for emailing the claim form so swiftly.

Have you ever made a payment to Lowells since they purchased the debt? If not then it looks like it's statute barred going by the assignment date on the claim form.

When they said you'd made a payment 5 years ago did they tell you how much and who to? It appears that Lowells owned the account five years ago. They could be bluffing. With a claim the onus is on the Claimant (Lowells) to prove their case so they'll have to come up with some hard evidence.

Have you got anything in writing to say you cancelled your contract with Vodafone, because cancelling your direct debit may not have been the same thing. Were you out of your initial lock-in contract period when you dumped them? If the contract hadn't expired then they may have billed you for the months they felt were due until the minimum period had expired.

There should be notes on their files but I don't know how far back their records will go. What year did you cancel?

I see you've already acknowledged service of the claim online, I presume you said that you intend to defend all of the claim.

Try not to worry, there is enough time to sort this out. You have 33 days from the issue date on the summons to file your Defence and we can help you with that.

Hi guys


really panicking here, they're are chasing me for a vodafone account from over 6 years ago. I got in a lot of debt when i was younger but paid it all off except for debts i didn't believe i owed. this being one of them, at the time i was with vodafone i just wasnt getting what i was paying for, calls kept disconnecting, messages not going through. complained multiple times to vodafone with no action. eventually i cancelled my direct debit and explained to them why. years went by till lowells got hold of it.


Ive been communicating with them normally explained why i don't think i owe this debt (its for £994 by the way which is ridiculous) and they said they'd look into it. i emailed them back the other day and they were wanting more personal details from me than i was prepared to give to a company i don't know. i said I've got their letter and ref number and i wanted to make sure I owe the money and I'm not giving out all my personal details, i wanted a copy of the original signed contract and they're claiming i made a payment to the account 5 years ago (which I have no record of) so i asked them for proof of this.


next thing i get the count court claim form through the door? really not sure what to do and panicking a bit as all the work to paying off my debts will be for nothing if they successfully get this against me, what can i do?

I hope I've written the format right below this is my first time on these forums, I've already been on the MCOL site and acknowledged the claim


thanks in advance, Steve
