    Yes you should copy the letter to the banks solicitors. The court may ask for you to make a formal application on form N244 which would attract a fee of £65 or they may do it on thier own motion saving you from having to pay the fee.

    The bank have 14 days to provide you with a defence you do not have to do anything for now.

    so do they have 14 days from the date of acknowledgement to put in a defence?

    i read here on the help page,

    "If the bank acknowledges at any time within those 14 days, they now have 28 days from the date of service of the claim form to file a defence"

    does that mean they have 28 days from the 2nd of august (date my claim was issued) to respond and give defence?
    they acknowledge my claim on the 8th august.

    thanks
