As I've explained a Summary Judgement Application is the Claimant asking the court to strike out your Defence as having no legal merit so disposal at Trial isn't the way forward (in legal procedure terms).
You've said your Defence was solely that the debt should not have been assigned to Arrow while it was in dispute with MBNA. This suggests you've not included any arguments in reference to your s 77-79 CCA Request, or challenges to other statutory obligations such as the Default Notice and Assignment etc.
You've also said that the FOS didn't uphold your complaint (which is evidence Arrow has included in their WS) and although you intended to appeal the FOS decision, you didn't actually appeal. I think you implied that the only reason your didn't appeal (an Adjudicator's decision or an Ombudsman's Decision?) was because MBNA didn't comply with your SAR so you didn't have the evidence for your appeal.
The question you have to ask yourself is whether your historical quarrel with MBNA is sufficient to convince a DJ that Arrow has no legal right to bring their claim against you now. I can't answer that question for you because I've not seen the Particulars of Claim to know what they say.
I can think of other arguments you could have raised but you seem convinced that you will be successful with contesting this Application based on what you have already pleaded in your Defence.
You will need to file your WS at least seven days before the Hearing.
