Your claim request has been accepted. The Defendant has 14 days from the date of service of the claim to reply.

[Guest roaringmouse]

OK, now 2 things will happen. Either they will respond (file a defence) or they will do nothing. Car dealers generally do nothing.

 

They have 14 days from the date of service which will not be 14 days from today. Day of service is usually 3 days after filing, but check online and it will show you.

 

Whatever happens, post back here before responding at all. In any event, if they do not respond within 14 days give them a couple of grace days, but DO NOT communicate with them at all unless they offer to collect the car and refund you in full before that 14 days runs out.

 

You will win. get that RAC report done ASAP. The longer you leave it the more they can suggest it wasn't there. Prove it is now and you are covered.

[Andyorch]

They have 19 days to respond including service and a further 14 days to submit a defence (if thats their intention)...33 days in total from when deemed served.

Yes, but if they do not respond to the court within 14 days of service you can apply for a default judgement.

[Andyorch]

Yes, but if they do not respond to the court within 14 days of service you can apply for a default judgement.

 

Only after 19 days has passed

 

Meaning of ‘default judgment’

 

12.1 In these Rules, ‘default judgment’ means judgment without trial where a defendant –

(a) has failed to file an acknowledgment of service; or

(b) has failed to file a defence

An interesting development I wasn't aware of.

RAC deem their reports to be inadmissible in court, they advised me to go to http://www.iaea-online.org/ for an independent specialist.

 

I have called my local specialist and they have sent an invoice for a similar amount to the RAC price, but they will focus on the faults rather than a general report and make it in a format the court recognise.

Obviously then they just employ any old cowboy car repairers and not qualified engineers.

My 19 days is up on tuesday, getting close and no reply, probably easiest if they don't, fingers crossed!

How long does a judgement take? It didn't say.

[dx100uk]

if the defendant doesn't acknowledge the claim within 19days .

then you can go for default judgement

if they defend the claim the balls back in your court to move it fwd

[BenScoobert]

I've put in for the default judgement already

[Andyorch]

Did you request Forthwith ?

[BenScoobert]

I'm not sure what that means.

 

There has been an update, I'm not sure what this means either

You submitted a judgment against dodgy dealer Ltd on 19/10/2016 at 10:02:34

 

 

dodgy dealer Ltd filed an acknowledgment of service on 19/10/2016

[Andyorch]

So the claimant has acknowledged service 2 days late (not within the 19 allowed) and from the above looks like the court has accepted it...so your judgment will be disregarded for now...they now have a further 14 days to submit a defence.

[BenScoobert]

OK, thanks for that, that's annoying, just shows what sort of shoddy outfit they are.

Why is there a 19 day limit if it going to be disregarded in favour of the [EDIT]?

[Andyorch]

Because thats the process...all defendants have 14 + 5 days service to respond to a claim...and when they submit their defence you will have 28 +3 days to decide to proceed/respond to their defence.

[BenScoobert]

So as he took 20 days, will they disregard their defence and still default or will it go to court now?

I mean you can guarantee now they will take the full amount of time to file a defence.

Depends on whether they file a defence on time....if their defence is not submitted on time (14 days after 19th) then you can request judgment again

It means they submitted a defence and the bar is to stop you requesting judgment.

This piece of slime really is playing the system, stretching everything to one day beyond the last day, yet the court accept it. I guess we're going to court!
