They might choose to cancel the facility, but they refused legal tender of payment so the debt
has now been legally dicharged in accordance with the Bills of Exchange Act.
The credit agencies are about to be served notice that should they record false information
in relation to this account they will be immediately reported the Office of Fair Trading and
invoiced for a substantial fee schedule.

The credit card company are now sending notices of their own refusing to accept that the
debt has been discharged. They are denying that they agreed to the proposed terms with
their silent consent and they are falsely claiming they have a right to charge late payment
penalties and adversely affect the credit rating.
Theyre also pretending they havent received an invoice for the Fee !chedule, which is now
in excess of "#$%% and that they have not been as&ed for verification and validation of the
liability. 'n other words, they are fec&ed and they &now it(

The usual threats we have all experienced at the hands of credit bandits have been
conspicuous by their absence, as has A)* correspondence from +obin ,oodys in-house debt
collection arm, and a delin.uent debtor report to the credit referencing agencies has not
been filed.
The executive in .uestion, rather than ris& being held personally liable for fraud, has now
closed the account and passed the legally discharged debt on to a third party interloper with

Oh dear. 't seems that the 1EO has created a liability of the 0 times the value of the invalid

the final settlement and closure of the matter has materialised on the hori7on.

+egistry, in the case between +an&ine and a gaggle of credit bandits, clearly demonstrates
the reasons why5
aC the credit bandits want every consumer credit agreement to be electronically DsignedE
bC technical arguments pertaining to the 1onsumer 1redit Act are unreliable
cC arguing that the unsigned photocopy of the alleged agreement is not enforcable is not the
silver bullet many of us believe it to be
dC running up credit card accounts with no intention of effecting payment is highly
dishonourable and will almost certainly bac&fire, even if the court has no power to order
repayment

Last Updated: April 23, 2013

alleged against you so you can prepare your defense accordingly. " bill of particulars may be used in either criminal
defense or in civil litigation. *owever, for the purposes here, we will mainly give e;amples related to defending your
self against a debt lawsuit.

What is a Bill of Particulars?
" -ill of Particulars is a written statement outlining the reasons a plaintiff filed a lawsuit against a defendent. )t is a
detailed, formal, written statement of charges or claims by a plaintiff or the prosecutor given upon the defendant's
formal re2uest to the court for more detailed information.
What is the Purpose of a Bill of Particulars?
" -ill of Particulars re2uests details on everything the plaintiff states is the meat of the case. +his prevents
surprises, enabling the defendant to prepare the strongest defense possible. " -ill of Particulars is also in the best
interest of the >udicial process overall: +he sooner a plaintiff and defendent are on the same page about the e;act
nature of the lawsuit, the more efficiently and effectively the case can move through the system.
How is a Bill of Particulars Different Fro the Disco!ery Process?
)n the discover! process, the defendent seeks evidence or strategy by which the plaintiff will build its case. +his is
the proof the plaintiff has against the defendent. " -ill of Particulars includes no such proof or strategy, but only a
list of reasons the lawsuit has been filed.
Who Can "e#uest a Bill of Particulars?
+he defendant re2uests it to clarify the case, the plaintiff cannot re2uest it.
Under What Circustances Would a Defendent Pro!ide a Bill of Particulars to a
Plaintiff?
(H, so there is a situation where the defendant would be asked for a -ill of Particulars. )f you file a counterclaim,
the plaintiff may re2uest a -ill of Particulars from you.

+he nature of the lawsuit determines what should be included in a -ill of Particulars. =or instance, if you are being
sued for an unpaid balance on a credit card, your 3emand for a -ill of Particulars should re2uest:
"greement and?or contract of the relevant account.
Proof the plaintiff owns the account.
,ist of items for which payment is being sought.

How is the &ettin) the Plaintiff to Answer the Bill of Particulars *nforced?
(nce a demand has been received for a -ill of Particulars, the receiving party should submit it voluntarily. )f not,
you can file a motion asking the court to force the submission of documentation.
What if a Plaintiff +,-ects to the Bill of Particulars?
#esponse to (b>ection for -ill of Particulars
(n IIII, 3efendant served its re2uest for a -ill of Particulars on Plaintiff. Pursuant to $$P section .5., Plaintiff
has ten days to respond or it will Mbe precluded from giving evidence thereof.M "s described below, plaintiffs'
response is entirely deficient.
"s a preliminary matter, plaintiff s ob>ection to 3efendant s -ill of Particulars is not well taken. Plaintiff has ' '
alleged a cause of action for (pen -ook "ccount. " -ill of Particulars is appropriate under this legal theory as
plaintiff concedes in ultimately responding.
+he response served, however is not sufficient. Plaintiff has not provided an itemiNation of the account showing all
charges and credits thereto. )t has not provided the underlying contract referred to in the complaint. 'or has it
provided any contract of assignment of the claim at issue in this litigation. <uch basic information is re2uired to
prove plaintiff s claim. Plaintiff should have such information readily at hand. )f not, it is difficult to understand '
how plaintiff ac2uired a good faith basis to file the lawsuit. )ndeed, the only account statements plaintiff has
provided demonstrate full payment of the amounts re2uested.
Please serve a full response on or before Jinsert date 0 days from date of letterK. )f Plaintiff fails to do so,
3efendant will move the $ourt for an order re2uiring a further response or, in the alternative, an order precluding
Plaintiff from offering any such evidence at trial.
