you don't need to tell or sar arrows no

no point in tipping them off.

simply fill out the N244 [are you on benefits if so ex160 fee remission form too - both are in the legal section of our library]

put on the N244 that the debt was already statute barred before issuance of claim.

not much else you need to say or do on it

just stick to the ONE fact [as simply as I've written it

DO NOT ADD ANYTHING.

its for the claimant to prove otherwise not for you to prove it is statute barred

dx100uk

Thank you ,

So I just do that immediately dont wait for SRA MBN - I have to pay - currently employed - DLA -

I will do exactly as simply as you say - as matter of interest when was the SB date ?

The following defence is all you need if it is SB

1 The Claimant's claim was issued on (insert date).

2 The Defendant contends that the Claimant's claim so issued is a claim in contract and is statute barred pursuant to the provisions of section 5 of the limitation act 1980.

.

If, which is denied, the claimant contends that the Defendant is in breach of the alleged contract, in excess of 6 years have elapsed since the date on which any cause of action for breach accrued for the benefit of the Claimant.

.

3 The Claimant's claim to be entitled to payment of £[insert figure from their POC] or any other sum, or relief of any kind is denied.

..

..ends..

dx100uk

ok finally had bank statements and no records of payment from Bank.

I have not got MBNA SAR which may show cash for post payments which they say would have been passed on to AG.

Have paid the £255 fee to set aside.

Have 244 form open in Adobe

- apologies for stupid questions ,

but want to ensure is absolutely correct.

1 - Can't alter size of font to put in County Court Business Centre - can only do without spaces - CountyCourtBusinessCentre , would this be acceptable

2 - On the Judgement for Claim it has my name with NO REFERENCE, it has the Defendant WITH A REFERENCE - do I use that reference on the 244 form ,

or leave blank as on Judgement for Claim ?

dx100uk

Can I ask claimant for fee if judgement set aside ?

Sending this form will be a huge step , thank you for your help.

Use the CCJ number

ok so print what i email back with my address but remove 'phone number and email address - just black them out ?

So concerned to do right

and email it to restons

as with all court emails

make sure you use the correct email

and subject headers

ok so here is the text of the Guidance - question at bottom

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Complete form N244 as follows:

 Quote your Claim number in the relevant box on the top right of the N244.

 In questions 1 and 2 clarify who you are and how you are related to the

claim e.g. Defendant, Solicitor etc…

 In question 3 write that the order you are seeking is to ‘Set Judgment Aside’ and

provide a reason for disputing the Judgment that has been recorded.

 It is not necessary to complete questions 4 – 9

 In question 10 clarify what evidence you wish to rely on in support of your

application, if necessary providing any further details in the box provided.

 Sign the statement of truth in section 10.

 The applicant must sign the application in section 11; third party signatures

are not accepted.

If you do not comply with the above the application will be returned to you.

What happens next?

Once you have paid the fee, or the court has granted a request for help with fees

made using the EX160 form, as you are an individual your case will be transferred to

your local County Court Hearing Centre. A hearing will then be listed for your

application to be heard.

The guidelines contained within this letter are not legal advice. Court staff are not

legally trained or responsible for the outcome of your case. You may wish to seek

assistance from a solicitor or local Citizens Advice Bureau.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Questions - So I wont refer to hearing/no hearing etc,district jusdge , length of time - - - -

so just need to clarify that question 10 am I safe to reproduce the informtion from 3 ie

1 The Claimant's claim was issued on ( date).

2 The Defendant contends that the Claimant's claim so issued is a claim in contract and is statute barred pursuant to the provisions of section 5 of the limitation act 1980.

.

If, which is denied, the claimant contends that the Defendant is in breach of the alleged contract, in excess of 6 years have elapsed since the date on which any cause of action for breach accrued for the benefit of the Claimant.

.

3 The Claimant's claim to be entitled to payment of £[£££££.pp] or any other sum, or relief of any kind is denied.

ok the instructions says to put - Set Judgement Aside - at 3 which I am followed by your wording with figures and dates - if can fit it in ( SO nervous..)

1 The Claimant's claim was issued on ( date).

2 The Defendant contends that the Claimant's claim so issued is a claim in contract and is statute barred pursuant to the provisions of section 5 of the limitation act 1980.

.

If, which is denied, the claimant contends that the Defendant is in breach of the alleged contract, in excess of 6 years have elapsed since the date on which any cause of action for breach accrued for the benefit of the Claimant.

.

3 The Claimant's claim to be entitled to payment of £[£££££.pp] or any other sum, or relief of any kind is denied.

Feel SO STUPID , but cant fit 1 to 3 above on form at section 3.

just do it

stop fretting..

they'll get the idea.

in 3 you put

set aside the judgement [number]

because the debt was already statute barred upon the issuance of the claimform [nothing more]

CPR to use will be different in this case....use CPR 13.3...not CPR 13.2 & 3(2)

And I would recommend attaching a Draft Order..the court expects it.

dx100uk , ok , fairfax dry. btw. Thank you so much for all your help. Will update any news.

see andyorch post 122

ah dx100uk and Andyorch, thank you. Confused now.

Will put as you say last above at 3.

Andyorch where do i put th CPR and please could I have exact words ? Thamnk you.

Ok Northampton 'phone line didnt mention Draft Order, I see lots of results searching here, could you narrow down please ?

if i cant do tonight I'm going to have to come back to this on Thursday. worried Do I need to be justifying delay between discovery and sending form in now ?

no take your time

OK thanks , is there a Draft Order form, I see lots of threads / search results but reffering to different things.

I will prepare a Daft Order for you later to attach to the N244
