The ISSUE date is 29/01/2020.

With a Claim Issue Date of 29th January, you have until Monday 17th February to file an Acknowledgment of Service. If possible, do not file an AoS before Tuesday 4th February, but otherwise there is nothing to be gained by delaying it. To file an AoS, follow the guidance offered in a Dropbox file linked from post #2 of the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread. About ten minutes work - no thinking required.

Having filed an AoS, you have until 4pm on Monday 2nd March 2020 to file your Defence.

That's over four 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.

Having filed your Defence, there is more to do...

1. Do not be surprised to receive an early copy of the Claimant's Directions Questionnaire. Nothing of interest there. Just file it.
   
2. Wait for your own Directions Questionnaire from the CCBC, or download one from the internet, and then complete it as described by bargepole in his 'what happens when' post.
3. The completed DQ should be returned by email to the CCBC to the same address and in the same way as your Defence was filed earlier.
4. Send a copy of your completed DQ to the Claimant - to their address on your Claim Form.

Thanks to @Redx.

The ISSUE date is 29/01/2020. I have not done the SAR yet. Is there an example of SAR?

Of course. You missed it in the NEWBIES FAQS thread post #2?

I’m in the same boat as you. Received a fine for stopping at the airport to pick someone up.
Just had a demand letter saying I now own £160!

Albert, if you were to start your own thread, then I, and others, will give you guidance on how to deal with your claim.

Trying to deal with two similar issues in the same thread can only lead to confusion.

Thanks KeithP.  I've started one at forums.pepipoo.com/index.php?showtopic=133273
Should I start one on this site as well, or stick to just one forum?

Stick to one forum. Posting on two forums won't get you twice the advice, just twice the confusion.

The case is going to be held at my local court on 06/10/2020, however, I have not yet received Witness Statement from VCS. I need to submit mine before 08/09/2020. Should I submit mine regardlessly or wait for VCS's WS first?  Thank you very much.

I agree with the OP, writing robust letters never did me any harm.
