You were expecting that weren't you?

Item 7 on that checklist you were following when you filed a Defence says...

Items 8, 9 and 10 on that list might be worth another read too.

What were you expecting at this early stage?  This is why the Announcement threads give you all you need to know for each stage.

Your defence hasn't 'failed'!

You need to re-read the first 12 steps in the Template Defence thread and then read IMPORTANT: KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN' in the NEWBIES thread.

Please don't post about the DQ form when that arrives. Just use our resources.

Actually I was half expecting it to work as I pretty much copied one that worked

Perfect thanks I'll get back on the thread

Yep. Normal and we didn't need to see it.

Just re-read the first 12 steps in the Template Defence thread and then read IMPORTANT: KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN' in the NEWBIES thread.

@victor56, probably not a good idea to have the Claim Number  visible.

With that detail UKPC will know exactly which parking incident is being discussed here.

Coupon-mad

Maybe just delete that post as there's nothing needed and we don't need to see or help with things covered by the 'first 12 steps'.

Here's a clued up poster with the same:

"Failed" and "expecting it to work"? Your defence hasn't even been seen by a judge yet. What are you thinking?
