    Link have assumed, or taken the position, that their response should be to throw you off guard, by instead of providing evidence of your liability for the debt, they spring on you the fact it was an overdraft and not a CCA regulated debt under sec 77 CCA.

    So you are no further ahead as things stand, it looks like they can`t prove the debt, so no, I would not respond to them, see what you get from the court as fatbelly advises.

    Thanks all

    Do they have a timeframe to respond to the defence filed?

    Hi all,

    Just a shirt update to say that it has now been 6 weeks and not had a response to the defence submitted

    Having not done this before I was wondering if they don't proceed do I receive something to say so? Is there a maximum time they have or does it just sit there

    You could ask the court to strike out the claim but that might just kick start everything.

    You don't have a ccj. There's no problem in just leaving it, is there?

    You have made things more difficult than expected for them. They probably keep moving it to the bottom of the pile. Eventually they will decide either to plough more funds into this or issue a notice of discontinuance.
