In fact, the person who advised me to counter claim was someone you helped in this forum who counter claimed Gladstone brooks and was awarded £500

Gladstone Brooks??

You been watching too much daytime television on your day off?

It's been a long week mate. Guess that's the power of advertising.

Time spent building my case. I have actually had to take a day off work to research and build this case. I know majority of it has been cut and paste, but this is the first time I have encountered something like this and I haven't really had any means to be at my computer to do this without being absent from work.

those are in your costs order claim and done at the same time as your WS + EXHIBITS , see the recent thread by stubborn goat where CM helped out

a counter claim would be something like off 3 months with stress and having a doctors note to prove it , or losing your job because of it etc

I cannot see any grounds for a counter claim unless you have something valid that you have not told us , hence why you were asked

the solicitors called GLADSTONES is not the same one as Gladstone Brookes (the tv one about PPI)

very few people put in a counter claim, most are encouraged to claim costs for time spaent , printing and unreasonable behaviour etc , like the stubborn goat one , make sure that you understand the differences and no quoting from tv ads please

Does anything need editing in that defence before I add the particulars and send it?

Hi Kieth

Following the instruction on this but I am unable to scan the statement and sign it. I have seen somewhere on here but can't find the thread again that typing your name at the bottom is the electronic equivalent of a signature. I'm all good to send off but will it be accepted if I just send the statement without a hard signed copy image?

Google *sign on pdf* upload your document to an appropriate site and sign.

All good. Defence is sent and acknowledgment received. Will keep updated. Thank you everyone for your time and help so far.

Letter received from HM Courts and Tribunals Service

I acknowledge receipt of your defence. A copy is being served on the claimant (or claimants solicitor). The claimant may contact you direct to resolve any dispute. If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, the claimant will inform the court he wishes to proceed. The court will then inform you of what will happen.

Where he wishes to proceed, the claimant must contact the court within 28 days after receiving a copy of your defence. After that period has elapsed, the claim will be stayed. The only action the claimant can then take will be to apply to a judge for an order lifting the stay.

So I guess it's just waiting to see if they go through with it now?

Yes, the next thing you should receive from CCBC is the DQ but don't worry if you receive a copy of the claimant's DQ first as mentioned by KeithP in post # 13.

Hi there

Hope everyone is doing well? Finally after waiting I have now received the DQ from CCBC. I have seen a thread somewhere which explains what to answer on it. Am I right in thinking it's somewhere on the newbie thread.

Thanks.
