Have you received the order from the court yet ? Might be worth checking on Monday if they have typed it up / sent it out to you.
You need to do a Witness Statement and a Draft Defence, both signed with a statement of truth. The Witness Statement is along the lines of the example I sent you - to this you would attach your evidences that you were out of the country, both at time of the contract being taken out and when the court claim was issued.
The Draft Defence is basically the same but answers the claim - showing the court that you have a reasonable prospect of success. Layout wise the same as the example I sent you but changing Witness Statement to Draft Defence, and ensuring you have the statement of truth signed at the end.
So the documents you submitted you want to separate the issues as they all got muddled up a little - one(the Witness Statement) saying you want the court to set aside the judgment because you were out of the country and were unable to defend, and had you been able to defend you would have had a good chance of success.... and the other is your defence to the claim ( so the contract wasn't taken out by you, O2 were informed and cancelled the contract, Action fraud / Police involved etc - that the claimant hasn't provided any evidence of the agreement etc ).
Statement of Truth is NOT a document or anything it is simply signing off any documents you submit by saying you confirm it is true. It is literally that sentence at the end, just before the Signed / Dated bit, of the Witness Statement example I sent you over.
