yes we haven't heard anything but i think they have till friday.sent requests on 14th nov according to our receipts. in reply to earlier post about fax.we haven't got one. the first we sent cpr .18 .on 3rd nov and they requested £10 for a s.a.r.

hi. just spoke to mycol.they told me they couldn't tell me anything as they had to look at the files to see what they've received .asked to speak to section supervisor and was told the same thing.(until they see what they received they couldn't do anyhting.) was told to write a letter explaining that the defence wasn't put in.also to send in the proper defence(whatever its going to be)with the letter. i explained that we were still awaiting advice on what the defence was going to be. the deadline is 1st of dec so that doesn't give much time . will write the letter today but no idea on what to put down for the defence. please could someone advise on how we go about this as there isn't much time left at all. we have to phone back tomorrow to see if they have found out anything about what went wrong but she said it could take till monday which i told her that wasn't much good to us as the deadline is monday.she said thats why we have to write the letter to explain. haven't heard anything from capquest or hl legal. can anyone help? thanx dazza

do i phone the court or mycol?or both?

hi the original date filed on mclaim was 15th nov.date acknowledged 17th nov. was told by lady at northampton court defence was filed 19th nov.not by me or my partner .so who filed a defence? would like to add .was advised to post in legal issues but had e-mail saying post unapproved. where do i go from here? please help. thnx dazza

hi just got off the phone to the court and they reckon a defence was filed on the 19th nov. there is no way on this earth that i have put any form of defence in.they reckon the defence was "proof of debt". on line was just acknowledgement of service and didn't even ask about a defence.(just that it was going to be defended). they also said it was received on the 19th nov.the acknowledgement was done on line on the 15th nov and reckognised on the 17th by the court. the lady at the court couldn't tell me how the defence was received ie.by letter or on line. she also said that now if i put a defence in it would be invalid as a defence has already been received. she told me to contact moneyclaim to see if they can shed any light on it. what do i do now? she also said it would cost £75 to have the claim set aside to start afresh. please could someone advise. thanx dazza

ok .will phone first thing monday. thanx dazza

yes it has on it: summary details claim no. response type AOS claimant name capquest defendant name.xxxxxxxxxx submission time and date.

ok .will phone the court monday morning. i filled in the one where it said acknowledgenent of service on line.there were 3 or 4 options. the acknowlegement of service said about giving me 28 days to file a defence.there was another option to defend but that wanted a defence there and then. will have to see what the court says on monday. thanx dazza

yes i printed a receipt when filled in court form.

hi. had a letter from the court today.it says: i acknowledge receipt of your defence.a copy is being served on the claimant(or the claimants solicitor).the claimant may contact you direct to attempt to resolve any dispute.if the dispute cannot be resolved informally,the claimant will inform the court that he wishes to proceed.the court will then inform you of what will happen. where he wishes to proceed ,the claimant must contact the court within 28 days after receiving a copy of your defence.after that period has elapsed,the claim will be stayed.the only action the claimant can then take will be to apply to a judge for an order lifting the stay. when i filled in the form online it didnt ask for any defence ,only that i was making a defence.what copy of the defence can they send to capquest if they haven't had the defence yet? please could someone advise on the next step. thanx again dazza

hi yes thanx creditcardmug it makes more sense now.was panicking a bit as i didn't know what i had to do next.i think someone said i had 33 days from the date on the court claim.it was dated 29th october so that takes it to 2nd dec.but on the back of the court claim it says you have 5 days from the date on the front.that would make it the 6th dec.i hope i'm right but if not could someone let me know. thanx again dazza

hi thanx for the advice.my partner has nothing in regards information about the debt as previously asked about.it is from a few years ago and she changed her name also.she says she doesn't recall any letters from them but to be honest she may not have even bothered opening them and just binned them .she knows she hasn't signed for any letters in the past as i imagine if she had she would have remembered having a letter from a dca. thanx again.will phone court to find out abot the claim and what date it is. thanx dazza

hi. how will i know when it will be going back to court?do i contact the local court in our area and also do i have to wait for a reply from hl legal before being able to make a defence?(see what they come up with). thanx dazza

hi again sent cpr31.14 request by special delivery.will i receive anything from the court to say about what happens next ?will it be transferred to a court nearer to us?what would be the next move for us to do? thanx dazza

ok thanx. i will have a look later .have to go out for a while .thanx for your help. will get the cpr31.14 letter off straight away. thanx dazza

ok great. its my partners debt and she hasn't had any letters to her knowledge for this apart from the court claim.so she hasn't anything i can scan to show you sorry.she knows she hasn't signed for any letters at all.the debt is in her old married name so she said maybe she didnt take any notice of them. dazza

acknowledgement of service done .now to get a nother letter off to hl legal.what will happen now?will i get a letter of some kind off the court or hl legal to let me know the next step? thanx dazza

ok thanx.i got that ,it had a few options but i wasnt sure whether i had to just say i was defending it or another one was acknowledgement of service.which gives you 28 days. thanx again dazza

Is It The Acknowledgement Of Service I Fill In Which Gives You 28 Days From Service Date? Sory For Being A Pain Dazza

ok.will do it now this minute. thanx a lot everyone. dazza

hi the date on the form is the 29th oct and the instructions says you have 5 days from the issue date .then fourteen days so it takes it up to the 17th. i hope. i could do it first thing in the morning if you could help with the wording in the defence. thanx dazza

hi no i haven't acknowledged service yet.i was waiting to see if anyone could tell me what to put in the defence part of the court form. i think we've got till the 17th.if you could tell me what to put that would be great as i don't want to put something wrong on the form . i haven't got long left to do it now. thanx dazza
