Pcn small claim but no defence

SophS · 18 January 2018 at 11:32AM

Hi Couponmad. I read in the step by step guide for the acknowledgment part of the MCOL not to put anything in the defence section. Not even a full stop.
And other threads have said that due to online formatting, the defence comes out jumbled up the other side and hard for the judge to read or something like that - hence sending by post a better option?

Set it out in Word, convert to a .PDF file, then attach it to an email. Things get lost in the post.

MCOL is not email
We would have said it was if it were. But it isnt

You print, sign, scan to PDF and EMAIL IT AS AN ATTACHMENT, same as everyone else does

Hi Nosferatu.
I’m not sure if your comment was aimed at me or Umkomaas above but I never mentioned that MCOL was email so please take a breather and calm down.
I said there was a section on MCOL to put in a defence - (which I’ve read on the newbies sticky not to put anything in there) so I’m not sure why you are SHOUTING at someone you don’t even know? I’m sure you wouldnt behave that way to a person face to face so I’m at a loss as to why you deem it appropriate while behind the safety of a screen?
I came on here to seek advice and perhaps feedback on the defence I scraped together from other sources - not to be browbeaten with self righteous, evangelical posts (over the most minute detail when it’s plain for anyone to see what I actually mean) because you have more knowledge or experience on the subject than I do. I hold my hands up and admit I’m not “down” with all the terminology for all the processes and nor should I be expected know everything from the off.
So please...have a little humility and leave the pontification at the door.

I seem to remember this was referring to the problem sending a defence within the MCOL template submission not by sending via email.

I am sure Nosferatu1001 was not shouting even though the text was in upper case.
I am sure he/she was just trying to highlight how to email your defence in the best format.

The regulars on here read day in and day out hundreds of posts and reply as they feel best.
Remember this advice is free.

We are all fighting the same cause

You were told to email it in, then you mentioned post was better because MCOL messes up the formatting. It only does this if you use the (crazily small!) online form. That is why the advice is clear to *email* it to them, as a printed, signed and scanned PDF. The signed part is critical - it MUST have a signature.

You ranted for 10
One is more dogmatic and pompous than the other.

Nosferatu (apt name btw) I was only (and politely) asking you to wind your neck in a little....but each to their own.

I’ll of course follow your advice and that of others once I’ve had the honour of someone proof reading it for errors.

nosferatu1001 · 18 January 2018 at 3:54PM

Indeed, each to their own.
Sarcasm tends to get posts ignored, btw. Just some advice.

Doubt your attitude will ever get you to the top of the pile!

Wow. I’m defending myself after having someone jump down my neck with shouty caps for no apparent reason. I never even said MCOL was email. But asking someone to be a little more polite in their response isn’t tolerated? In other words attitude can only go one way but not defended against?
