CCJ Set Aside - Next steps?

[Asbestross]

Hey all,

Looking for some advice here.
Had a CCJ against me by default in May 2012 after the DCA filed in a previous address. Basically they knew my current address but filed in previous to deny me legal right to defence.

Had the court hearing for set-aside this morning and the judge accepted abuse of process and agreed to set it aside. Stated that I must file a defence with the court within 14 days.

The debt is apparently for a mobile contract which I have never had. Have previously SAR'ed the Claimant which gave no evidence. Calls to the mobile company yield no results as my details dont match what they have on their system for the account number.

POC's refer to a contract, termination notice and notice of assignment.
Before filing a defence, am I right in thinking I should CPR 31.14 the claimant for proof and file defence once (if) received?

Thanks in advance,

Have a read of this and see if it helps you. It talks a fair bit about CPR 31.14 at the start:

It may also give you some idea of what to expect in terms of them providing proof. They often wait until the last possible moment I believe, to try to trip you up.

I'm sure someone with more knowledge than me will be along soon.

Thanks Labman, i'll have a look now.
Knowing the methods of the claimant, i can guarantee they're going to try every trick in the book to trip me up. But hopefully i'll be ready

Thanks again,
