Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
I've got to the stage where I started a claim via Moneyclaim and I received a letter from Northampton county court to say that Natwest had Acknowledge Service, giving them 28 days to file a Defence. The Acknowledgment of Service was dated 7 December 2006.
Tomorrow, 4 January, is the 28th day.
I have received no Defence or no further communication from the Court.
Am I correct in believing that by tomorrow I will have won by default and can commence with a Judgment, or do I have to wait a while to see if a Defence arrives in the post?
Just want to clarify your dates first. When you filed your claim you should have received a Notice of Issue from the courts a few days later, what is the "deemed served date" on this issue??
Hiya - not too sure of the answer but I think you might find that they will file a defence today or even tomorrow and get away with it. Read around and you will see they often leave it til the 11th hour. Still you never know you may be lucky and win by default and I hope you do otherwise you know you will win in the end!!!

A few minutes ago I logged onto Moneyclaim and it has now been updated to say that Natwest have submitted a Defence disputing the whole claim, which was what I'd expected anyway.
Richard v Natwest - nearly won by default??
