Revisit the 12 steps in the Template Defence thread that cover all this stuff.

Then re-read the section in the NEWBIES thread in red capitals, called 'IMPORTANT - KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN'.

Please re-read the first reply you received on this thread - on 12 April at 5:39PM.

Filling out the form

A1 = Say NO to mediation (they want the whole amount, you want to pay them nothing, so no scope for mediation. This will not go against you). Mediation is run by a commercial company on behalf of the courts and their success is measured by how many cases are kept out of court. They are not interested in the merits of the case, only whether you will pay or not. So say No.

B = fill in all the details, your name, your address, etc. This is the address that all the paperwork will be sent to. If you are moving home within 6 months make sure you have mail redirection in place. You will get a default CCJ if the paperwork doesn't get to you as the Courts see it as your responsibility to give a correct address.

C1 = YES to small claims track – this is the limited costs track for claims up to £10,000 in value

D1 = name of your local County Court – unless you are a Limited company, the case files will be transferred there. They will ask for theirs but protocol dictates it is your court. For example, MIL Collections always asks for Truro and Devere Parking always ask for Bournemouth. You, literally, do not want to go there.

D2 = NO to expert evidence (this relates to medical negligence cases and suchlike)

D3 = 1 witness (that’s you) (or more if you are going to get another person to provide a statement)

D4 = Put down the dates of any pre-booked holidays, NO to interpreter (unless you need one)

You send a copy to the courts and another copy to the Claimant company. Keep a copy for yourself. As mentioned before, there is a long delay (20+ weeks) between this form and an actual day in court.

Maybe the OP meant POFA?

Ok, but read each court letter carefully as they will tell you your witness statement deadline. Defence was not your only job.

The court process is fully explained in the NEWBIES thread under the red capitals heading IMPORTANT: KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN.

Also - really important - please come back and do the Public Consultation.

You and all PPC victims on this forum are needed, read this and the linked article in it:

Please don't miss out. The PPC gravy train will only be over by next year, if enough real people respond robustly. At thd moment they have blocked the Government from cracking down on them.

This final Public Consultation is likely to be open very soon (last year's was in August) and it really is the last chance to stop the greedy industry.

Real evidence from real people is needed.
