Just reply with a pic of the hard copy.

Done. Took a pic of the hard copy. and sent that with the soft copy too.

This is the same case where because the court office did not process my defence, 8 months ago they incorrectly entered a judgement for the claimant, stating that I had not responded to the claim, and then subsequently set that aside - because I had. It appears that the courts are not only under a huge backlog, but quite possibly the clerks and other support staff may be running on auto pilot because I draw the assumption that the DCA's are perpetually emboldened by their own bullying and likelihood that because this marathon is fraught with BS errors like this, many defendents either give up or get lost en route.
