Hi. I hope this version is redacted properly. I'm not sure how you determine this but tried to follow the guidance given. If ok, can this be uploaded to post #120 and previous one removed. Thanks for the advice, again. Notice of Hearing 10 July 2023.pdf

Evening All I received this reply from the Court via email today after chasing up a response again. The below was stated. I expect I now need to write to the Court direct (which I thought I already had by doing this) requesting a decision without hearing? Please advise thoughts. _________ Court response...4th September 23: Dear Sir, The Judge would make the decision as to whether or not they feel the matter should be dealt with on papers or whether it requires a face to face hearing. If you feel the matter should only be dealt with on paper then you should write to the court giving the reasons and we can refer the matter back to the Judge for their consideration. Kind regards, _____ My request... The Court reply above was in response to my emailed request on 16th August 23: Evening I received correspondence on the above claim number in which I received the following paperwork: 1. Notice of transfer of proceedings 8 June 2023 2. General directions order 8 June 2023 3. Notice of Hearing 10 July 2023 I contacted the telephone number as noted on the letter last week and following a discussion was requested to contact the court direct as they could not answer the question. Question: I feel on reflection there may be an error in the paperwork received and would welcome your review and response to this? The DA that was issued specifically requested action without a hearing. Can you advise why this is now identified as a face to face hearing? How has this occurred and why? Can this therefore be amended. Many thanks in advance for your assistance. Kind regards. ____

Thank you. I've contacted the court via telephone stated on the paperwork and was subsequently asked to contact the court direct via email when they couldn't advise and resolve. I've sent an email tonight and am waiting on their response but now expect the outcome you have mentioned. I'll post up/confirm when received.

Good morning CAG. Is there any more information needing to be uploaded? As I didn't request a hearing, do I now contact the court and enquire why this is planned? Many thanks.

Thanks all. It did look unusual to me. Letter received. Notice of Hearing 10 July 2023.pdf

Hi All I see there were some comments regarding myself redacting the dates, but I was under the impression from CAG that you should not disclose anything that would link you back to the claim. The dates are now listed below in full. Case Stay Lifted on 08/06/2023 You filed a DQ on 08/06/2023 Your claim was transferred to DARTFORD on 08/06/2023 I have since received a Notice of Hearing letter dated 10th July 2023 in which it states: TAKE NOTICE that the Hearing of the Defendants application to reinstate their defence will take place on 15 April 2024. Where you should attend 30 minutes has been allowed for the Hearing. Your case involves some or all of the parties attending court. You will need to send the judge an electronic bundle 3 days before the hearing via the court office. ___ This is nearly 3 years in the making so far....assume I will need to review this submission nearer the time rather than prepare anything now? Thanks again all. General Directions Order.pdf Notice of Transfer of Proceedings.pdf

Latest MCOL update notes: Your defence was rejected on xx/02/2023 Case Stayed on xx/05/2023 at xx:xx:xx Case Stay Lifted on xx/06/2023 You filed a DQ on xx/06/2023 Your claim was transferred to xxxxxxx on xx/06/2023 I didn't file any further DQ info recently so assume that this was my original in Feb which has been brought forward and input?

Evening CAG Received two letters from the court today. Both dated 8th June 2023. The relevant parts of each are attached. Do I need to put any case forward within the 7 (now 6) days of the order? Many thanks. Notice of Transfer of Proceedings.pdf General Directions Order.pdf

Apologies I thought I'd replied to this at the time but it clearly hadn't come through. Yes, it is a copy and paste from the MCOL website. Last three notes are: Defence was struck out on xx/02/2023 Your defence was rejected on xx/02/2023 Case Stayed on xx/05/2023 at xx:xx:xx I assume my N224 submission was accepted but I've had no correspondence on this directly. What next?

The MCOL website has an update. Case Stayed on xx/05/2023 at xx:xx:xx I assume this means my appeal to the rejection of my defence was accepted and they can not issue any CCJ on me. Do I just now wait for a follow up action or should I now be actioning in preparation. How do I get this closed down fully?

Fee paid. Documents sent to ccbcfees@justice.gov.uk via email. This is to request that the court order/communication is varied to reinstate a defence after failing to file a DQ. I've noticed that the MCOL website will be unavailable (down for essential maintenance) on Sat 25 and Sun 25 February so expect a claim reference update no earlier than next week..

If I follow the advice provided by the court and send correspondence electronically via email, do I still need to follow up with 3 hard copies posted to them also? ___ Once the form(s) have been completed, they can be submitted to the court via one of the correspondence options below: The County Court Business Centre St. Katharine’s House 21 – 27 St. Katharine’s Street Northampton NN1 2LH Email: ccbcfees@justice.gov.uk Thanks.

I will sign the statement (and date it?). I've found the Royal Mail correspondence so will add that evidence in also as exhibit 1. (5th document)

Thanks, great support. I've just checked and my original DQ form and it has no date reference on this, so assume I can just use the same document again without alteration. I'll check the Royal Mail agreement as will have this somewhere and add it, if found, as an exhibit. The comment you made 'before the statement of truth' I'm not sure what this refers to. Do I add something else to this letter after the 10 comments?

Twit twoo.... I'm a night owl also. Give me 30 minutes to post it. Many thanks for your time tonight. Invaluable.

I'll do the WS now by looking at Alaska headings and post this up tonight. When do I need to submit this package as expect that the court will close on Friday and payment and issues need to be done quickly?

Ok, the copy of the order is now done. I have left the #### Draft Order #### line at the top of the letter as per your wording As there were two court order/communication on 19/02/2023, do I need to identify (and modify wording in letter) for which one we are requesting judgement on? Defence was struck out on 19/02/2023 Your defence was rejected on 19/02/2023 ___ N244 form Court now changed to County Court Business Centre.

Understood.

Thanks. Used that same wording but referencing 'myself' rather than 'you'. For 4 to 9 4 - Yes or No? 5 - without a hearing? Is that right? 6 - 10 minutes? Assumed No not agreed. 7 - do I leave this blank? 8 - Please advise level of judge... 9 - Does this need serving to anyone else? 10 - Which tick box do I use?

What Order are you asking the court to make and why?

OK, I'll open the N244 form now and look to complete it. I'll drop any questions on here I have.

Sorry, just seen. What do I need to do to complete these? Will log on now.

Option 2 it will likely be. I recognise the court process methodology and rigidity so no need for emotion, just get through these forms to determine the outcome. The N224 form requested has some sections I'd appreciate direction on on how to answer these. Some are straightforward others not (and tick boxes also). I'll get onto this as soon as I have a bit more feedback and direction, if possible. Tomorrow (today) hopefully. I'm also not clear what 'requesting relief from sanction imposed' refers to earlier in a post. I'd assumed this was potential recovery of the £108 but assume this isn't what was meant.

The N180 form was an attachment in same email. I have not received anything via post. My address has been changed on their system as I asked them when I phoned them up today via their helpdesk number.

Bad news. Received an email from CCBC on Sunday stating that my DQ was issued after deadline (stated 18th, response issued on 19th @ 1am) and is therefore considered as not filed and the defence has been struck out. I now need to complete an N244 Application and N180 Directions Questionnaire together with a fee to CCBC. Was advised if I disagree with that decision to complete these this before the claimant can issue a CCJ. I haven't seen the N244 form so any help in completing would be appreciated. I'll look to do that tonight. Was checking regularly on the MCOL website for an update and nothing was forthcoming and now has the following. DQ sent to you on 24/11/2022 General sanctions order was made on 06/01/2023 Defence was struck out on 19/02/2023 Your defence was rejected on 19/02/2023
