echat11 yes they never send me default notice is obtained sar from Shop direct and they don't have in their records also I have financial ombudsman compensation which also sah I was never served a default notice.

Then that's part of your defence.

[Akhan88]

echat11 they have sent me director questionnaire they have tickedd to determination withit hearing. My main defence is the default notice never being served to me as such this is unenforceable. Can I still make counterclaim or if I win the case I can claim for cost like all this time I have been spending time on this case when I told them for years that without default this is unenforceable and they wasting mine and court time.

If you wanted to Counterclaim, then the Counterclaim should have been lodged with your Defence,
but you would need to set out clear reasons for the Counterclaim and you would need evidence.

Your court fees and reasonable expenses like travel and loss of earnings for yourself can be recovered.

You can't claim for stress or the hassle this has caused you.

You normally get a letter from the Court to say that the case is 'stayed', if the Claimant hasn't responded to your Defence within 28 days.

'Or will i recieve a letter from court confirming the case is stayed ?'

[Akhan88]

echat11 I think they have lifted the stay which means they have paid more money ? I canr understand why wont they just carried on within 28 days to avoid that is this something I can use in defence or ask what was the reason for delay

echat11 maybe their reason for delay prob is that they sent me an offer on 12th with 14 days to accept and prob using that as a defence

If you are in doubt, it's always best to ring the Court, the offer to settle has been made outside of the Court Procedures,
might be relevant after the Hearing / Judgement case.

You will receive a DQ (update when you get that). So providing they've followed CPR, there shouldn't be any issues.

But make a note of anything you think is wrong on the Claimant's part

The 'Bar Code' is for internal Court administration.
