Help, not sure of claim date!

[zsellors]

Apologies if this has been asked a million times before but I can't seem to find the answer. I submitted my claim (£1989) to MCOL on 4/9/06 and it was issued on 5/9/06. When do I count the 14 days from? Is it deemed to be served 2 days after issue, 5 days after issue or immediatly?? Any advice would be great.

Oh and I count the 28 days as soon as they acknowledge don't I?

 

Barclays seem to be taking their time to acknowledge mine!

Its 14 days from the date it was served for barclays to acknowledge. If they were to acknowledge this gives them an extra 14 days therefore giving them 28 days from the date it was served to submit a defence, not 28 days from the date they acknowledge.

 

It should say on your Notice of Issue the date the claim was deemed to be served.

 

Good luck

Thanks for that. I'm glad I only have to count from the 5th. That means their time is up on Monday!! Fingers crosseed they don't even acknowlegde me, although knowing the way they work that's highly unlikely. I just can't wait for it all to be over and to have my money back!!

If it was issued on 5th it wouldn't have been deemed served until 7th or 8th I would guess so you may have to wait a couple of extra days.

Damn! I'm already bored of waiting. Thanks for clearing that up for me anyway. Will keep you all posted on how things go!
