Cel ltd - county court claim

Thankyou tboo, will get that corrected now, unsure why it reverted back to the one I used as a draft.

Coupon-mad - do you mean this? or is there some extra bits I should add regarding that. Had a lot on the past few days so only had a chance to have a quick look into the bit you mean.

No standing - this distinguishes this case from the Beavis case:
It is believed Civil Enforcement do not hold a legitimate contract at this car park. As an agent, the Claimant has no legal right to bring such a claim in their name which should be in the name of the landowner.

Again, thanks for all your help.

Hi guys,

Just looking for abit of advice about this still.

I submitted my defence and according to the money claim site it was received on the 11th of December.

I then received a letter from HM courts & tribunal services (dated 11th December) stating -

"I acknowledge receipt of your defence. A copy is being served on the claimant (or the claimants solicitor) They claimant may contact you direct to attempt to resolve any dispute. If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, the claimant will inform the court that he wishes to proceed. The court will then inform you of what will happen.

Where he wishes to proceed, the claimant must contact the court within 28 days after receiving a copy of your defence. After that period has elapsed, the claim will be stayed. The only action the clamant can then take will be to apply to a judge for an order lifting the stay."

Thats all it says, its not signed by anyone or anything. Obviously I cannot be sure of the exact date they served a copy of my defence to the claimant. If you go from the date they received my defence and sent me that letter, it's been 34 days, so I'm guessing the 28 day limit for them to contact the court is up already? or if not yet soon?

I haven't heard anything at all from the claimant, or the courts, and the website where I acknowledged the claim originally hasn't been updated so unsure what to do from here/what to expect?

Any advise is appreciated, thank you.

I rang them yesterday and funnily enough they said a directions questionnaire will be sent out, which I received today. how do I proceed? I've looked at the newbie section but not sure what happens now. due to severe anxiety id really rather avoid having to go to court but its looking this way now?
