    ^^ Agree ^^
    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.

    Hi All,

    I have just received a Claim form which has the county court stamp on it.

    Is this something I should now take seriously?

    Should I really take that question seriously?

    If so, then the answer is yes.

    You need to re-read post #2 of the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread to discover how to deal with it.

    Obviously yes.

    But no more questions needed, we have so many CEL claim threads on here, all won with a decent template defence, that all you need to do is copy one. NO LINKS NEEDED, LOOK AROUND!

    Read the NEWBIES thread post #2 about what happens when. Do the AOS first, of course (no asking what that is...all is revealed in a pictogram walk through, in the sticky thread).

    Then you defend by email to the CCBC like everyone else does, and in the end you win but you'll know that, from reading all the other discontinued CEL claim threads.

    which is what every newbie says when faced with this topic that they havent been through before

    that is why there is free help and advice in that NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread, in post #2

    you wont get BETTER HELP even if you paid for it , so you need to do the AOS and then sit down with a cuppa and read through it slowly, also reading through a dozen similar threads with ongoing court claims

    you will then see its a similar process for all and 90% of the work has already been done for you

    bear in mind when you learnt to drive it took several or many lessons, usually more than one test and rome wasnt built in a day

    read through that post #2 , then read through any recent court claim threads from the last 2 months or so, from this very forum

    if you are using an apple device, turn off SMART PUNCTUATION as its ruining your posts

    ideally , use a laptop for this

    You have already been told that first you need to do the AoS - Acknowledgement of Service.

    Go to post #2 of the NEWBIES FAQ thread and find the text: "Here is a guide to MCOL & how to acknowledge service".
    Immediately following that is a link to a Dropbox file explaining in pictures how to do the AoS.

    But wake up!

    No-one is going to repeat all of post #2 of the NEWBIES thread here line by line.

    Be thankful it's only CEL, you have the one that doesn't go to a hearing, and if you search the forum for the words CEL crayon you will see how easy this is...
