If they do that, you will be sent a copy of it with an allocation questionnaire.

It beats me why they do this.

They have so many of these cases and they always use the same defence that I am surprised that they don't by now have an oiled mechanism for turning these claims round within a few days.

Strikes me that it's probably deliberate and an attempt at damage limitation.

39 days to cough up Data Protection Act info, rebuttal of initial request, rebuttal of lba, acknowledgement of service, submission of defence, all designed to gain time in the hope that the claimant will

forget
lose interest
lose patience
move house
get married
get divorced
fail to stump up fees
panic
win the lottery

in fact anything that means the claim will be dropped.

Surely, that's all they can hope for, isn't it?

As you and others constantly remind us, we have to be firm in our resolve and, above all, patient.

Onwards and upwards
