    Ninth Anniversary Combo Breaker First Post
    I got something similar, when I got this was around the time me and the missus had serious relationship issues and got kicked out, moved to several different addresses in those time, until I moved here to Kent in late 2018. So I never received any letters and this is the first I have received, now I have ko recollection of this matter, it could've been my brother my friend or maybe even me but it was so long ago I can't even remember! Anyway I haven't had any contact with them what's ever, what should be my next step? Will bailiffs get involved if I ignore or?

    Had a letter from the court.
    She has to submit a defence by 14th May 2020.
    so I do not feel confident with this one at all. 
    What happens if the judge does not accept the defence does she then have more costs to pay? Thanks would be grateful for help

    nikkietoni, I think you mean defence filed & served by 4pm on 14th May, unless you have a De Lorean ;)
    But, yes, I'm afraid that's now less than 1 week away.

    You/your daughter knew that was coming.

    You/your daughter knew a Defence would be required.

    You/your daughter now need to put of paper (well pdf really) that Defence that you/your daughter have been thinking about for weeks.

    We are confident.   There are no huge costs at risk (NOT £356!) and this next hearing will decide the PCN, that's all.  She knew that a defence is the next thing. 

    This is exactly where the stepping stone of the set aside was meant to get her!

    She just files and serves (to the Court and Gladstones) a defence.  Adapt the template defence - that's what it's in the NEWBIES thread for.  Takes most people less than half an hour to edit - very simple.  Adapt the red bits in 16 and 17 to explain that after all these years it is not known who the driver was, but in the family there were x possible drivers of that car, and then a paragraph quoting either 8(2)f (windscreen PCN) or 9(2)f (postal PCN) of the POFA, and pointing out that this is clearly a driver-only 'non-POFA' version of a Notice to Keeper and thus she is not liable in law.

    Per Google:-

    "No order as to costs

    This is a phrase that means that no party is awarded any costs payable by the other. Ordinarily the effect of the order is that each party must bear its own costs."
