    Use the template but please remove it from the thread, that's all, as it is unnecessary and has bloated your thread to three pages. We don't need to check our templates. Threads are best shorter (easier to read) so please delete the post with it in and I will delete my reply to keep your thread on point.

    I've just received a reply to my email to DCB legal's 'letter of claim' as detailed below. Any advice on whether I should reply or not, bearing in mind I have pointed out to them that Vars already has my medical evidence. Any advice on next steps would be appreciated

    " We write to acknowledge safe receipt of your formal response to our Letter of Claim sent to you in respect of this matter.

    Having considered your response, our position in respect of this matter remains as per our Letter of Claim. We note that despite your points of dispute, there is an absence of any evidence in support of the same so that we may consider this with our Client. If you do have evidence which you believe supports your dispute, please furnish us with the same within the 30 days afforded to you.

    As it stands, the initial 30 day timeframe under the Pre-Action Protocol remains, and County Court proceedings will be issued following expiry of this 30 day period, without any further reference to you.

    We strongly recommend that you contact a member of our dispute resolution team on 0203 838 7038, as a matter of urgency so we may discuss this matter with you and avoid a Claim being issued against you."

    Standard reply (see the Defence Template Announcement 8 Steps) and NEWBIES FAQ Announcement, post number TWO. Just await the arrival of the court claim and deal with that as per above.

    Have you read the DCB Legal Discontinuances thread? That’s where your case will lead to if you continue to follow forum advice.

    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    We never need to see that template reply again! Search the forum for a line from their replies before posting them. You'll see!
