Small court claim.. needed to defend advice needed on writing the defence.

Ok so the envelope has just been found in the bin minus a few stains however not on the date.. PHEW!!
The date on the letter (POC) is the 11-0ctober
Date on the envelope is the 31st October...

poreilly

So they need to hand write or ecletronically write the letter?

Is there a draft which can be copied to form this letter?

Also (Sorry)

Do you wait for a response from the letter even if the deadline with an extension is the 11 NOV?


So sorry for all the dumb questions just want to do it right,

Type up a letter , handwriting is a terrible idea
There is a thread by loadsofchildren123 that’s easy to find
No, you file a defence at latest 14 days from service of PoC.

From the other thread click on Loadsofchildren123's profile to view her previous posts - she has drafted a few complaint letters for other posters recently and you will find them there. You'll need to scroll through a fair few posts though to find what you're looking for so be prepared to do some proper research.

Email is better than handwriting

How long is the process..??
I just thought you sent that letter of then filled in the form and a decision came from that?

I shall look for that now
Thankyou

could take months

depends if the claimant pays the court filing fee once a local court has ben allocated

if you found and read the post by BARGEPOLE , he tells you the whole process , although they may fold early

assume it will go to court until its proved otherwise

prepare for the worst , hope for the best

concentrate on dealing with the current paperwork, not the future paperwork

best to get a witness statement from the hotel in the near future though , so get this paperwork side done and then contact the hotal for a written letter , a signed statement

Here's a draft complaint letter by another CEL defendant. I've only glanced at it but it was inspired by one of our lawyer advisors so it should do the trick:

NB: I'm spoon feeding you here, but you do need to get better at researching the forum and finding the information you need.

Let hope it folds early, anyway the letter, shall it just be sent to the address of the court? After typed?
Just a simple letter or does it have to have legal bits in it?

Which thread it this I have found a few but not the drafted letters?
