    "I've read the 2nd post on the STICKY thread, i even tagged it in my first post."

    You didn't tag the NEWBIES FAQS thread which is the one telling you 'what happens when' under a red capitals sub-heading.

    That is your stage. Read that first.

    • What was the date of the claim form?
    • Was the name who signed it off on the back, Sarah Ensall? This is important.
    • If yes, you can easily adapt the WS in the thread by @Horizon_Dawn which is a simple one responding to the claim, citing HHJ Moloney in Beavis and it has Mazur v Speechlys (the latter case law is only relevant for claims from Sarah Ensall).

    Read the 2nd post of the NEWBIES FAQS thread first. The bit about WS and exhibits where I give a lonnnggg list for defendants to use as evidence.

    I'm daft as a brush so I much appreciate your guidance. Today I got an email from DCB with an N279 Notice attached saying that "Our client has instructed us to discontinue…. etc"

    I'll redact my details and post a copy on the wall of shame thread.

    BTW, I have another one Parkmaven one that I paid: I received a Court Claim late last year, filed AoS, then was away so forgot to file a defence and they got judgement by default. I paid so that it didnt stay on my credit file. It looks like the set aside fee is higher than the amount I paid, so should I just take it on the chin?

    Thanks again, OB

    Theyve bottled it and pulled out! It was Sarah Ensall btw, the link was really interesting reading.

    Thanks for all the hard work and apologies for not reading stuff I should've.
