you can email it don't sweat

have you registered with mcol website since you got the claimform?

I'm really worried that I'm running out of time as my defence has to be in my 4pm on Monday. Do the courts give an extention or are they strict to the date and time?

It will be done by Monday Lunch...you will have to email it to the court if your not local to your county court...

Andy

I'm registered on the mccol website as this is how i submitted my first defence

but didn't know if i could still sumbit my amended defence through the website as it's now transferred to my local court.

My local court is 30 miles away.

i have just logged into the mcol site and can't find anywhere that allows me to submit an amended defence....

You dont submit your amended defence through MCOL...it must be emailed or posted to your local county court.

You really must stop panicking

And

Defendant XXXXXXXX

Further to my initial defence dated xxxxxxx and pursuant to the court order dated xxxxxxxx

1. The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made.

Further to my initial defence dated xxth xxxxxx 2017 and pursuant to the court order dated xxth October 2017 I now submit an amended defence after making an application pursuant to CPR 18 dated the 4th July 2017 requesting the claimant was ordered to provide disclosure of the documents its claim relied upon.

2. Paragraph 1 is noted and it is accepted insofar that I have once held a contractual relationship with Vanquis Credit Cards in the past. I do not recollect the details nor am I aware of any outstanding balance that the claimant refers to and have therefore sought clarity from the claimant for further details by way of CPR 18 and a section 78 request.

3. In its compliance with the order dated 20th October 2017 the claimant was ordered to provide inter alia the Original Loan Agreement, a full summary of how the amount claimed in the proceedings was calculated.A copy of the Notice of Assignment and a copy of the Default Notice served at the time of any breach.

4.The Claimant has provided a summary of the alleged debt along with the Notice of Assignment and a copy of the Default Notice pursuant to section 87.1 of the CCA1974.

(za)section 55(2) (disclosure of information), or

(a)section 65(1) (improperly executed agreements)

And is also devoid of any Terms and Conditions.

6.It is therefore respectfully requested that the claimants claim is struck out pursuant to the above and subject to the court order dated 20th October 2017 for none compliance.

Thank you.

did you comply with the email guidance (i posted it #36 prior to you sending)

if you complied, then it shouldn't be 'auto rejected'

I sent it to my local county court email address, i tried for over an email to speak to an operator to confirm which email address it should go to but the automated message kept saying all operaters are busy and then hangs up so i emailed it to enquires and listings.

Now panicking as the amended defence only has my name typed under the Statement of Truth.........gotta feeling i've now messed this up!

but did you comply with formalities re the needed form, details/content/structure etc of the email

if so, it should be accepted (as you asked), and not auto rejected.
