  • Hi Redx,


    Thank you for getting back to me.


    I thought the arguments were relevant to my situation. Should I take the whole paragraphs out if so would this be the paragraph after number 11?


    Oh my god I feel like I have completely messed this up and I should of just kept the first draft.


    I am not going to have time to make all these changes on my lunch break :(


    I have no idea what to do.

    I never said remove any paragraphs so your question makes no sense to me

    I would add all the abuse of process paragraphs in the previous draft , before 12 , thereby moving paragraph12 to the very end , then renumber from 11 onwards, so what is now 12 becomes something like 19 or 20 or whatever

    Post #13 told you to object to those additional charges, hence adding the abuse of process paragraphs back in

    Your paragraph referencing both Cop,s makes no sense to me , because the claimant isn't a member of the IPC , so check the reasons why the IPC was mentioned , it didn't appear by chance and I have no idea why you mentioned the IPC ?

    Jeez you stayed up later than I do sometimes!

    Did you get the defence signed & dated & emailed to the CCBC?
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

  • Hi All,

    Thank you for your assistance so far in this matter.

    Yes, I made the recommended changes and submitted my defence at around 15:20 (Cutting it extremely fine).

    I've just logged in and the latest update is "your defence was received 28/08/2019"
  • Hi All,

    Further to the above, I have since received a letter from BW Legal stating that their client wishes to proceed with the case and i have until 30th September (today) to either pay in full or set up a payment plan.

    I have also received the questionnaire from the County Court Business Centre which requires completing by 10th October 2019.

    I know the letter from BW Legal is intended to scare me, but it has - I am considering Paying as I don't want the stress of it. What do you all think?

    Thank you in advance.
  • I can send a copy of the letter if required (I'll blank out any details).

    Thank you
  • Why would you now pay?
    If you want to take the easy way out all the time life gets expensive
    Treat this as a learning exercise and a cost of being an adult. You'll learn a lot and come out a lot better from this.

    A begging letter from those idiots at BW Legal? Noone here cares.

    You know how to complete teh court form.

    Complete your Directions Questionnaire as explained in Bargepole's 'what happens when' post linked from post #2 of the NEWBIES thread.

    When complete, return your DQ to the CCBC in the same manner and to the same email address that you sent your Defence.

    Remember to send a copy of your completed DQ to the Claimant - address on your Claim Form.
  • Ok fair point.

    Thank you both, I'll follow the steps and complete the questionnaire.
  • Hi All,

    I have another question...

    If I lose in court and a CCJ is issued against me - I am currently in the process of saving to buy a house and will be shortly applying for a mortgage. Will this be impacted by the court case? Or will it not be affected as long as I pay the CCJ within the timeframe required?

    Thank you again.
