Can't she just fill in that N9B form and send that back?Coupon-mad said:So email the defence as a PDF with headers and a signature & date under a statement of truth. As seen a year ago when we used to do it that way.0 -
Too late for that, with only 2 days before the lawyers can pull the trigger, a week ago it could have gone snail mailtir21 said:

Read back for what you have been told to tell her ! How to draft the defence with header, footer, signature, saved as a pdf and emailed
Stop looking for alternatives and follow our instructions, otherwise there could be a default CCJ against her by the end of this week3 -
I wouldn't. Most unsatisfactory. That likely involves hand-scrawling a short defence into a very small box.tir21 said:

Not recommended, and totally unnecessary, given we have got a template defence she can copy & paste into a word doc then add the claim number, both parties names (NOT THE SOLICITOR FIRM) and the word 'DEFENCE' headings & a statement of truth.
Then electronically sign & date it and save it as a PDF. Email it as a PDF attachment with URGENT DEFENCE - UNPROCESSED & the Claim Number, of course, in the subject line. And a brief explanation in the email body.
Get it done tonight as emailing it risks a wrongful CCJ the longer she delays. As long as she does it in time she wins the race but the other side won't know that and will likely throw in a default CCJ by Friday, which then needs batting away by complaining to the same clueless eejits at the CNBC who actually told you that the MCOL password is 'one-time'!PRIVATE 'PCN'?

Standard stuff, study the 8 steps nobody seems to read in the defence template thread in announcements3
-
Can anyone advise on what this letter means. Haven't heard anything for two months then got this the other day
I don't understand the "A copy of the defence has already been sent to you by the defendant"
I thought my partner was the defendant?

Its all in the newbies
Everything you need is literally in there
Ignore point 1 on the front page
Please follow it
you dont need to post these up just follow what they say6 -
We don't need to advise. Obviously that's your copy of the court letter sent to the C. And you were meant to be expecting it.tir21 said:Can anyone advise on what this letter means. Haven't heard anything for two months then got this the other day

Standard stuff, please go back to the 8 steps that so many posters don't read!
We don't need to hear about the standard early stages. Just play the game:Follow the easy 8 steps covered in the Template Defence sticky thread. No link is needed to that Announcement, or to the NEWBIES FAQS thread - which you must also read post 2 of, especially the red heading IMPORTANT: KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN'. It is very easy.
See my signature below if you need a steer about how to hop straight to page one. This could not be easier once you bookmark the Template Defence thread to follow the 8 steps.
We don't want to know about:
- this fully expected copy letter
- nor DCB Legal's reply to your defence
- nor the DQ
- nor should there be any questions about the Mediation phone call.
All are covered in the 8 steps already.
What we do collect are pictures of the Notices of Discontinuance for Umkomaas' thread, so we'll see you again in the Summer/Autumn when you strut proudly back here with your win!
