Response to DLA court action - good 'shortfall' solicitor in SE needed URGENT

from Gordon Bennet (arsenewhinger@hotmail.com)
Julie,

Are DLA actually taking you to court or just threatening to? If you haven't received a summons from them then it may just be more sabre rattling. You say that you dispute the 'alleged' debt. If you haven't accepted it in any of your correspondence and haven't filled in I&E forms, then how likely is it that DLA know about your financial circumstances and ability to pay? I think the advice on this site about SARNs is brilliant. Don't hesitate, use the form of words suggested here and serve a notice immediately on the C & G, and DLA! I agree with Daren's views on solicitors. Wait until you are summonsed would be my advice. If you SARN the lender you may be surprised at what you learn about their 'claim'. Best defence is attack. Put them on the back foot by asking them to justify claim as generally advised in this site.

good luck, you aren't the only one in this position.

Gordon
