Good afternoon des8

I've logged into money claim online today and saw this:

"A bar has been put in place on this claim. You cannot respond to the claim at this time."

I sent the defence last night around 10pm and the paper version has gone to the claimant today. Is this usual?

[des8]

It is standard practice for a bar to be put in place when a defence has been filed to prevent the claimant obtaining a default
judgment

Good morning Des8,

I submitted the defence on Thursday, they still haven't updated the recent transactions field in the moneyclaim.

In your experience, how long should it take for them to update the claim with the received defence?


Many thanks.

Your defence was received on 19/06/2024

There we go, I can rest now.

Hi all, just a quick update to keep you in the loop.

DQ's have been issued on the 15th so I'm just waiting for these to arrive in the post.

DQ's sent today, recorded delivery to both the court and the claimant.

Opted for mediation, but will obviously only accept nothing less than full discontinuance.

Good morning

Just a quick update.

Mediation appointment pencilled in.

Good morning all,

Just a quick update.

Had mediation today, Claimant offered a reduced settlement of £200, I counter offered with £1. Not accepted.

Mediator seemed to be very much on board with the Claimant, almost pushing for me to settle for their offer. No thanks.

[des8]

Thanks for the update.
Mediator should not be siding with either party, but probably thinking that if he/she can persuade you to agree terms it reflects well on his/her abilities.
