    Got claim letter dated 20.11.19 giving me 14 days to reply...

    I have logged in to money claim online and choose option, I dispute the claim, as well as post letter back.

    Online it says "claim history"

    A claim was issued against you on 20.11.19
    Your achnowledgment of service was received on 29.11.19

    My question is..... Do I have any extra time to upload my defence now?, or only until the 4th?

    Thanks
    With a Claim Issue Date of 20th November, and having filed an Acknowledgment of Service in a timely manner, you have until 4pm on Monday 23rd December 2019 to file your Defence.

    That's over three weeks away. Plenty of time to produce a Defence, but please don't leave it to the last minute.


    When you are happy with the content, your Defence could be filed via email as suggested here:
      Print your Defence.
    1. Sign it and date it.
    2. Scan the signed document back in and save it as a pdf.
    3. Send that pdf as an email attachment to CCBCAQ@Justice.gov.uk
    4. Just put the claim number and the word Defence in the email title, and in the body of the email something like 'Please find my Defence attached'.
    5. No need to do anything on MCOL, but do check it after a few days to see if the Claim is marked "defence received". If not, chase the CCBC until it is.
    6. Do not be surprised to receive an early copy of the Claimant's Directions Questionnaire, they are trying to keep you under pressure. Just file it.
    7. Wait for your DQ from the CCBC, or download one from the internet, and then re-read post #2 of the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread to find out exactly what to do with it.

    Without prejudice save for costs
    What exactly are you saying here?
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Google - "The phrase “without prejudice save as to costs” is a term used in law to identify that discussions and offers made to resolve disputes cannot generally be disclosed to courts or tribunals, except where the issue of legal costs is being determined.

    Not good?

    But I thought is was your Defence you were going to post for appraisal?

    Your Defence is for filing with the court... to be discussed at court.

    Have you read any of the seventeen examples of Defences linked from post #2 of the NEWBIES thread?
    There is a link to that thread in my earlier post.
