Claim form received..::

[TomEstern62]

Morning all,

I have unfortunately received a claim form from an ex supplier for a sum that I am disputing.

The claim is for the delivery of items that were unfortunately never received early last year. I contacted the sender on multiple occasions asking for a POD (signature) but they were never able to provide me with one which prevented me paying the invoice.

I have already completed the acknowledgement of service and confirmed I am disputing the claim
but am unsure where I need to go next?

Is there a standard layout I need to use for documentation or a generic form I need to use?

I have never had to use the online forms so am a little concerned about making mistakes!

Any help is much appreciated!

CPR 31.14 Request send to them but only ask for items (proof) as stated on the original court form = POD etc
Example Defence basic defence you adjust to your circumstances, but you have 28 days from date of the claim to submit

you have 28 days from date of the claim to submit

Now you have acknowledged service you have 33 days from the date on the claim form to file your Defence (if the date falls on a weekend or public holiday the Defence is due before 4pm on the next working day).
