28 Days has passed. Start Judgement?

[Duradrum]

Hi.

 

Lloyds acknowledged the claim on the 7/9/6. This gave them up to 5/10/6 to reply. I've heard nothing yet.

 

The 28 days has passed. What should I do now?

 

Thanks.

As you said in the subject - file for judgement!

 

Chances are the court will have received a defense today knowing Lloyd's solicitors, but it's always worth a shot.

It wont let me do it!

 

it says:

You cannot request a Judgment by Default at this time.

The Defendant is allowed 14 days from the date they were served with the claim to defend or admit your claim before you can request a Judgment by Default.

If the Defendant files an Acknowledgement of Service within 14 days of receiving the claim form, they will be entitled to 28 days from the date they were served with the claim form to file a defence or admission of your claim. If the Defendent does not file a defence or admission within the 28 days you can request a Judgment by Default.

If you have not requested judgment, the defendant may still file a defence to your claim after the 14 days or 28 days have elapsed. The claim will then be transferred to your local court for a hearing to be arranged.

 

 

Why is this?
