Yes that's it.

 

Should I have asked on that thread?

 

I kept getting warned for merging threads and thought this was just a question about the court papers?

[honeybee13]

I think dx asked you to keep to one thread and merged them for you. I'll do that again.

Thanks.

Sorry I haven't really got the hang of things.

And thanks everyone for the advice

 

I did stop texting him and just sent the letter before action and he didn't accept it from recorded delivery but I have proof of postage and confirmation online that they couldn't deliver because nobody would accept it

Then the paperwork has not been served.

 

Send it normal post with proof of postage or hand deliver while someone takes a video.

 

You have to cover every angle of defence.

might be an idea to post up a link to the claim thread your are following so it can be checked it is correct?

[DwayneH]

Thanks for the advice. Is that correct about the recorded delivery? I don't really want to start over - unless of course not doing so would be dtrimental. I sent the letter before action by email as well as we had been sending emails back and forth and I had asked him as suggested in an earlier post if he was prepared to accept email as a means of communication for serving papers and he agreed.

 

I have been working with this link for the claim:

Thanks again

If he's agreed to emails as form of communication then it's fine, but make sure the agreement could not be misinterpreted.

If the recorded delivery came back to you or is sitting in the post office depot, it means that it's not been delivered.

I would personally waste another stamp to send the same letter via normal post with proof of posting.

No confusion , "lost emails" or grey areas.

Thanks. I think I'll do that. Another two weeks will not make any difference and I can get the claim all correctly worded and the witnes statementin the meantime.

Could i post it on here without any names involved or would that breach the rules?

Also, has anyone got any advice on the question about the claimants? Can it be two names i.e Mr Joe Bloggs, Miss Jane Doe? Because there were two names on the agreement.Thanks

'Could i post it on here without any names involved or would that breach the rules?'

 

Not a problem if it's suitably redacted.
