    At the moment email to claim.responses is safer because of the issues within mcol, as currently discussed in the template defence thread

    Thank you, do you know the email address? I tried CCBCAQ@justice.gov.uk but the mail box is closed!

    Study the addresses in the defence template thread which are up to date and you should be following the 12 steps 

    But I did tell you to use the correct address,  claim.responses

    Obviously the short defence CANNOT BE EMAILED because it isn't signed under a statement of truth.

    NOBODY SHOULD BE TELLING PEOPLE TO EMAIL AN UNSIGNED DEFENCE.

    If there is a character problem try removing the square brackets. Or a colon or semi-colon. Try it till it works: by trial and error.

    There's clearly a character it doesn't like. This isn't difficult.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    I emailed the full signed version and not the short version.

    Yes. One more thing, did I have to sign by hand writing? I signed by printing my name digitally.
