Hi, I'm quite unconfident with writing (inc. letters, forums...) but will try my very best to be clear and readable. I have viewed many cases here and learned much, but still struggling. I have a Claim against me (Credit Card) and have done all the necessary CCA CPR31 requests etc. My deadline for filing defence is tomorrow, and have now received a letter from claimant's Solicitors AGREEING extension of 28 days to file defence. ..I will come back here and post more details another day very soon, but due to extreme anxiety and research time I don't have the strength to do it yet (really need to get some rest). For the moment please could anyone help me construct an email to inform them (courts) of the wish to have the extension of time of 28 days to write the defence under CPR15.5. I have spoken to the court (Northampton) and lady told me first that I should submit the Defence by due date (17/01), but after I insisted I had a right to the extension she said I could email (CCBC Defendants) explaining, and attaching the letter from claimant/solicitors. (Writing them won't reach them in time). She didn't seem confident with this, and she also did say, after I asked whether I'd get acknowledgement, that they will first have to enter it into the system (but didn't give a positive reply). I hope I'm right about this...? It won't fall into "no defence submitted therefore CCJ"? I appreciate I should be able to construct the letter/email myself but my ability with these things are not really that good (and didn't want to risk being unclear), and I couldn't find examples anywhere (searched for almost 4 hours). I will post my story so far when I've recuperated a little (it has really taken a heavy toll on me). Please help/advise.
