Yes the ones above, bar the repeating are going to be added in full, just sending it nowMouse007 said:Are those paragraphs going to be added to the template defence in this thread "Template defence to adapt for all parking cases where they add false admin costs - edited March 2022"?

Yes, your Defence filing deadline was Monday 15th August.As others have said, you are now in a race.Since 4pm on Monday 15th August the Claimant has been free to seek a Default Judgment against you.
If they seek that Judgment before you have filed a Defence, then they win the race - it's game over - you lose.
Check your MCOL Claim History to see if there is a Judgment against you.
If there is, then you can ignore the rest of this post.
On the other hand if you file a Defence before the Claimant actually seeks that Default Judgment, then you win this heat and go through to the next round.
To create a Defence, and then file a Defence by email, look at the second post in the NEWBIES thread.
Do not try and file a Defence via the MoneyClaimOnline website. From now on the MCOL website should be treated as 'read only'.1 -
Make sure you get a auto reply receipt email, please confirm you have that.

Defence has been sent over (printed, signed, rescanned and emailed)
Have an auto response, so fingers crossed we beat them to it.
Thanks for all your help2 -

Well it appears I have gotten our defence in before any judgement has been raised.
Was there now anything I needed to do or add to this defence at all?

The defence is what the defence says. You can only add to/change it if you pay the fee of £275.mark1kenno said:Well it appears I have gotten our defence in before any judgement has been raised.

All there for you so you know what's coming next so nothing will surprise or shock you when the various stages arise.Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .
I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

Defence is not your only job, so you do need to read the 12 first steps. Then the NEWBIES thread which tells you everything to expect, and how to do it.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
