acknowledgement of service help

[RawFabsUK]

Hi guys, excuse me being a newbie and asking for help - I recently recieved a county court claim form and wish to dispute, i have done some research on this site and have found the first steps to take - Acknowledging the service and sending CCA request, but in the online form it asks if i intend to contest jurisdiction.. do I tick this box ? I already ticked 'I wish to defend all of this claim', im not exactly sure what they mean by this

Hi again, just filling out the CPR template could you please advise what date would go here ?

"To enable me to file my defence and/or counterclaim, I require inspection of the agreement you mention in your statement of case ahead of filing my defence onxx/xx/xxxx."

will this be 12 days from now ?

[MIKE770]

all i would state is amend entry in defence that:- on such a date CPR31.14 requested to date not received also CCA request, submit defence on line 48 hours to deadline that stops them rubbishing your initial defence by them scourging quicker


do not help them bu giving time limits they know the rules, never be kind to these cretins

[RawFabsUK]

Thanks Mike, so for the form i would just put

"To enable me to file my defence and/or counterclaim, I require inspection of the agreement you mention in your statement of case ahead of filing my defence" ?

Could you please confirm my deadline, Issue date is 17 March 2021, i understand it's 28 days from then but have seen people mention 33 days which has confused me , 14th or 19th April?

When i click on start defence on the MCOL, do i have to enter my defense there and then ? Or can i keep amending it throughout? I don't want to click it and have to do a write up straight away

thanks

Check dates

all i would state is amend entry in defence that:- on such a date CPR31.14 requested to date not received also CCA request, submit defence on line 48 hours to deadline that stops them rubbishing your initial defence by them scourging quicker.

do not state you require as you do not want to assist them in their efforts to find the document,

[MIKE770]

defence 2 days before please read postings above

[RawFabsUK]

Appreciate the link Mike but im capable of adding and subtracting what im saying is the MCOL states 28 days but advise from people on here in other threads say 33 days allowing for post etc

your statement they say this /that so link tells you actual, good luck i am off

[RawFabsUK]

your statement they say this /that so link tells you actual, good luck i am off

Thanks for your help, please forgive me for asking questions which to you may seem very simply answered, but i have never had to do anything like this before hence why my helpless self is here, i'm an 'on the tools' person, so when you say

amend entry in defence that:- on such a date CPR31.14 requested to date not received also CCA request

I have no idea what you mean

[ostell]

The time to respond is the lesser of 28 days from date of acknowledgment or 33 days from the date of issue.

Nobody says 33 days allowing for post. Actually read and comprehend what the form is saying.

If you have requested documents form the other side and they have not supplied then say so in your defence. Simples.
