CCJ defense advice - heating engineer claiming against me

recluse_sled

Hi foks, hope this is the right forum - let me know if it's not.

I have a bit of a petty saga which has been going on for nearly a year now...

I had a heating engineer come and do a few jobs, two of which weren't done as per the quote (which had some pretty ambiguous wording on it) and while I paid up for the work which was completed, I've ended up with a MoneyClaim case against me for the remainder.

The claimant appears to be signed up to some sort of debt collection, no-win-no-fee service so they initially handled the threatening letters and emails which just went round in circles and then the official claim was created. I have a feeling that's why they've continued this process for what is a pretty daft amount of money to waste this much time on (less than £250).

I submitted my defence and we went through the mediation process (which wasn't successful) and we've now been given a court date.

As far as I can tell, I need to submit my "documents" to the court and the claimant at least 14 days before the court date, but I can't see anywhere on the letters how best to send it. Is email valid? Should I send unsolicited emails to the claimant? I don't think I have their postal address anywhere - I'm sure I could get it from companies house, but that again seems a bit weird.

Same for the court - it's been allocated to a local court so I have a postal address, but can I just email the documents over?

Well you can send by post, unsure if email is a valid form of submission, you can personally serve the documents or engage someone to do it for you, but there is a cost for this obviously.

"All documents on which that party intends to rely on at the hearing" plus witness statements.
