Hi Pov, just noticed what you said about dial-up on last page. I can sympathise cos I was until end of May. I would have liked. to spend more time here but was always concious of the minutes ticking by.

Now on talktalk broadband which is just as well as I've spent the last month here almost every day reading, learning and getting support and inspiration. Worth it in the end though.

Good luck with your claim, Slick

You need to allow 5 days to be deemed served. The 14 days starts after that

Hey POV, they get 5 days to issue, then 14 days from the issue date to acknowedge and if they do (which 99% of the time they do) they get another 14 days to defend.

If no defence is made then, then you can make judgement. Be wary though because usually this is because they are so overworked and they will then apply for a stay (which will very probably be granted) against your judgement as judges prefer a decision based on the case being heard/proceeding than by default so don't get too trigger happy. In any case you will almost certainly get a defence.

Yup, the issue date is the date you made the claim. Add 5 and it is then treated as served (it confirms on your notice of issue that you will get from court) then 14 days to acknowledge and 14 more to defend.

Hope that makes sense

First of all, you are NOT a fool.
This to you and everyone else claiming is new teratory so you are not expected to know what to do.
And
You are not alone, you have us to guide you through and then to congratulate you at the end....

Use the new address but update the bank and court of your new details if you havent already.
