Hi Andy, sorry I am not usually around here on weekends.
The £25 fee does not need to be paid now as it is for the hearing fee - as no date for the hearing has been allocated yet which would have to be paid for by VCS then you just wait from the court. You can pay it over the phone when it comes to that or by cheque but I would suggest the phone and get an authorisation code from them.
In terms of you omitting a large part of your defence, what I meant was that I didn't see you add much to what I already revised. If you are happy with it then that's fine, I just thought I should point that out. Ultimately, if you think you've got everything covered then that's fine and the ball is now in VCS' court as they will now need to file a defence or risk having default judgment entered against them. I don't think they will put in any detailed defence on the counterclaim and will probably be a couple paragraphs at best referring back to the Particulars of Claim as a counterclaim for harassment might not be something they are used to receiving.
