hi,
couple of things:

Quote:
Section A - Settlement
tick no
i assume this is for all 3 questions in this section, if so, is there an appropriate reason i could use to explain why?
Quote:
Track
tick small claims as long as the claim is below 5000

their claim, including costs is for over £6000, do i still tick small claims?
group h on my paper is for fees.
do i have a fee to pay
and lastly, i presume i copy all and send copy to arrow?
sorry to be such a pain, but although grey now, i used to be blonde

i thought it would be compulsary to sign it.
would it be accepted without a signature

tick small claims as long as the claim is below 5000 ITS THE CLAIM NOT INCLUDING THEIR COSTS, SO IF THE CLAIM IS UNDER 5K THEN ITS SMALLCLAIMS

their claim, including costs is for over £6000, do i still tick small claims?
group h on my paper is for fees.
do i have a fee to pay NOPE NO FEE
and lastly, i presume i copy all and send copy to arrow? YES SEND A COPY TO THE CLAIMANT

If they have your signature, then there is nothing stoping them having an executed credit agreement bar ten minutes in photoshop.

Dishonest, and I don't accuse any particular company of doing such.

A typed signature, in english law, is a signature - you don't need to hand write it.

PAUL
SECTION A ,
has 3 questions,
1. given that the rules require you to try to settle the claim before the hearing, do you want to attempt to settle at this stage?
2. if yes, do you want a 1 month stay?
3. would you like the court to arrange a mediation appointment?
4. if you answered " no " to question 1,please staate below the reasons why it is inappropriate to try to settle at this stage

[stephen7]

tomterm,
thanks,
never thought of that
steve

[stephen7]

just checked,
their claim is for £5790 plus costs
does this rule out the small claims?

[pt2537]

A Settlement
Do you wish there to be a one month stay to attempt to settle the claim, either by informal discussion or by alternative dispute resolution?
Yes No

thats taken from the N150 i have here?

you can still ask for the case to be allocated to small claims so i would tick Small claims for sure, the judge will decide anyway

Yes No
thats ok, will tick no for all.
they have never replied to any communication from me anyway, so will use that as a reason

[tomterm8]

Erm, can you scan a copy of the "Forms" you have recieved?

Edit, you don't "file" the forms online, you fill them out then print them.
