Thank you for your comment. When you say file the response, do i send another template or do i just ignore the response to the template now and await the claim pack? Once the claim pack arrives I'm assuming i fill it out and return it? 

No. This is a simple process. No form-filling.

You will either:

- use what the Template Defence provides and defend the claim online using the MCOL system

or (if you'd prefer a law firm to kill it)

- you'll maybe decide to ask Contestor Legal if they are still doing their fee-free 'strike out' service.

Either is fine. It is utterly futile to reply to Moorside again. We know what we are doing.

By the way, did you get this Trace Letter with the pink section lying about CCJs? This letter is horrifically misleading.

They can't just 'pursue' a CCJ like it's automatic!

I got this from a contact today, did you get this one earlier?

Yes because they are from the same overarching company, APN Group, whose CEO is Mike Marrs: the President of the BPA Trade Body. Yes, the supposedly trusted BPA.

There are so many conflicts of interest in this rotten industry. The conduct of the DRAs is appalling, as you saw with that Trace letter lying to you about being able to just get a CCJ.

And please don't forget that this month, we need you: PLEASE bookmark this thread below and do the Public Consultation if you haven't done it yet.

See this thread where I have added some helpful info to assist people's replies and reasons to support your answers (I'm half way through the questions): -

We need every poster to come back & complete this vital Consultation before the deadline! Just 2 weeks left but please don't rush it. You can do some then save it and come back to it as you have time.

We understand that you may need some pointers. It looks laborious, we get that.

So to try to help, I've written some guidance on that thread.

Any questions on the Consultation please ask - on the dedicated thread - but I've covered up to question 20 already in that first post, openly telling everyone what I'm going to put and/or what sort of evidence you might wish to use for your response, if you agree with what we'll be saying from our experience.

Whilst your answers must of course be your own, there are vital points to safeguard motorists interests to make, that many people may not think of without our guidance because we see cases every day and we know the legal background. However, people like you have lived & breathed the intimidation, greed and unfairness first hand so your voice is needed!
