I'm feeling the angst as received a Claim Form from County Court business centre and I am defending the claim.
I had work done to my business vehicle which came to an extortionate amount, I exclaimed in horror at the invoice, paid a sum to the garage but not the full amount. After several people were also exclaiming horror, I sought professional opinion and was very balanced in my task, however, every single professional said the invoice is far too high and the amount I have paid so far is adequate. I relayed all this back to the Garage explaining I now have had 'seeds of doubt' cast to the full cost of their invoice,
I asked to discuss but they refused, explained where I was and how this has left the invoice in dispute but he still would not discuss just said you owe me the balance, pay up.
I had no proper procedure re the protocol for pushing a debt only a threat to take it to court. I wrote to him, he did not reply. I then received this Court claim form. I am defending it, but I want to know do I go into a huge amount of detail on the N9B form or do I deny each point but in a summary as the form only has 2 small boxes! I do appreciate you can add extra but I have been told the huge bulk of the defence happens next?
