Centrica/CST Manual Claimform - Scottish Gas / training bond. Went dead - now new claimform.

[starb18]

Hi,

 

I have had the exact same thing. I joined Scottish gas in 2016 and left in 2017, I’ve been working away and the letter is dated the 04/08/21, I’ve read the above but honestly don’t have a clue still what I’m doing.

 

 Where do I submit defense online? Is it as easy as copy and pasting from an attachment above. 
 

Any help / guidance would be great even as a starting point. 
 

thanks

Hi, 

 

I have received a letter from CST law regarding overpayment of salary / expenses. Having read the previous topic i commented on I still don’t have any idea on what to actually do regarding this and feel like time is running out on what to do with it. 

 

Any help of a starting point on how I actually go about dealing this would be great. 

i am from Scotland so unsure if it works slightly different than England.
 

I joined Scottish gas in 2016 and left in 2017. 
 

The letter is dated: 04/08/21

 

Thanks

And sorry, I still live in Scotland but have moved address which I’ve emailed centrica to let them know of the change

[dx100uk]

your acknowledgement of service was due by day 19 from 27/7

 

fill out the AOS sheet defend the claim, scan it to PDF and attach it to an email and follow the claimform pack instruction and send  to the court  email address today by 4pm.

 

your defence was due by 27th august 

read that badmojo thread

fill in the defence sheet from the pack the same as him, get that away too.

you might be too late sadly.

[starb18]

Would it be better for me to approach cst law and agree to a payment plan for it? 
 

or still file a defence and hope that it’ll be ok? 
 

what happens when it does go to court and say I lose because I’ve filled a defence too late?

 

thanks

You may be just in time if they have not already requested judgment after day 19...I would advise you also submit your defence along with the AOS at the same time.

 

If your defence is not accepted you wont be attending court they will already have a default judgment.

Hi.

 

thanks, so do I just fill In all the paperwork they’ve sent, scan and send away? 
 

do I need to fill in the affordability bills etc paperwork? 
 

Or is it a case of just sending an email of defence? Apologies absolutely clueless. 
 

thanks

[dx100uk]

No you do as weve told you to do..

So youve wasted 7hrs?

 

as the court s closed for getting stuff for today registered at 4pm. That another whole day lost

 

you need to do the aos sheet and email it

you need to do the defence sheet as per the defence in badmojo thread. Email it

 

the email ad to use is listed in that upload you did above

 

do those tonight

if you want help ask

 

Dx

 

 

[starb18]

I’ve not wasted 7hours, I’ve been working and the paperwork is at home. 
 

I will be home in 20mins and I’ll start it straight away. It I get stuck I will ask, thanks a lot, the help is appreciated 

 

 

[dx100uk]

Sure

[starb18]

So it’s the acknowledgment of service form - AOS? which I’ve completed and the defence form only from the pack? 
 

starting the defence form now and will refer to other thread 

 

Would it be right to say as to copy the defence file he posted as his last upload into my defence box?

 

Sorry for the spam, now at the point just to fill the defence out. 
All other details are filled in as applicable. 
 

have left the counterclaim blank completely and have ticked the box disputing the full amount showing. 

[dx100uk]

All sounds good to me bravo!!

 

just let @Andyorch confirm things i don't often deal with paper claims

[starb18]

great thanks, would it be a case of attaching these to an email then sending off, would be it be better for me to explain why it’s slightly late or leave that out completely and attach the forms and send off? 
 

 

[dx100uk]

If you read the full upload you sent us it tells you what to do if filing by email for aos and defence

[starb18]

yeah appreciate that but what I mean because it’s late, am I best to mention this and why or leave it and just have it sent over?

[dx100uk]

Get it done. Quickly ....no-one reads it yet!!

explanation s are for the judge and he doesn't see or read anything unless it ever gets allocated to a hearing. important thing is to prevent default automatic judgement by being late

[starb18]

Sorry, I can’t see where in the other thread to send it. can you link or advise the email to send the documents. 
 

Everything is ready to be sent. I’ve created a separate document to allow room for the bad mojo thread defence due to not all fitting on the defence. 
 

Thanks again
