Bryan Carter Says No **WON THEY GAVE UP**

[pt2537]

Already on it Patrick, just reading it now

seems to be Carters M.O at the moment to try and split the claim, this is completely unlawful and breaches S35 of the County Courts Act 1984 and they should know better

pt, how should I submit my defence to the court? Online or by snail mail? Sorry for being a pest, I just haven't got a clue with things like this.

Hi there,


it wont go online anyway so thats out of the question, it will need to go special delivery to the court

now you need to give them a chance to supply you the documents so i would say submit it when you have around 4 days to go. if your not sure of the deadline then give the court a call to check

also, dont forget to amend the relevent parts of the defence that need attention

[DoubleVee]

When you say won't go online I assume you mean because it's too long? Claim was issued 6th March and I submitted an acknowledgement of service on the 11th March. That means I have until 3rd April to file a defence. So if I send it on the 24th March I should be alright? Got my brother's wedding to head off to towards the end of that week so I need to send it off before then.

This may sound stupid, but can I just print the defence you posted (changed where relevant) and attach it to my defence form? Also, what will happen after I've submitted the forms? And am I disputing the full amount being claimed?

Ok so when did you send off the CPR request for disclosure of the documents ,you really need to give them enough time to reply to that before you file the defence, its no good sending a CPR letter then the next day,filing a defence that says they have failed to comply with my request if you havent given them time to reply

Yes print the defence i posted, once youve amended it and put your details etc onto it, then attach it to the N9B form and write on the form Defence document attached

once youve submitted the defence, theres a fair chance that carters will give up and file a discontinuance but if they dont then the court will send them a copy of your defence and they have 28 days to decide if they want to continue with the claim

if they do then you will recieve an Allocation Questionnaire, when you do let me know

[DoubleVee]

I sent the letter March 11th, they received it March 12th. 26th March will be 14 days. Should be ok to file a defence then, as the letter stated 14 days.

I'll do that and then let you know what happens.

Thanks you so much for your help my friend. You're a credit to society, along with everyone else connected to this site. Thanks!!

[pt2537]

Thank, they are very kind words and i truly appreciate it. Please shout as soon as you hear anything, then we can look at whats happened and prepare accordingly, even if you receive a notice saying they have discontinued the case , let me know

good luck, not that you will need it of course

Regards

Personally i would send it first thing on the 25th or on the Saturday Before Easter.

Hi all. Just thought I'd let you all know that I've just been and posted my defence forms off this morning. Later than I'd planned but I've been working away.

Just to clarify, I was only supposed to send form NB9 and my defence attached to it?

[pt2537]

N9B and the defence as posted is all you need to send to the court.

the court will send the copy of the defence to the claimant

[DoubleVee]

Thanks mate!! I'll let you know the outcome.
