       With an issue date of 6th February, you have until 25th February
       to submit an Acknowledgement of Service (AoS). By submitting an
       AoS, you would then have until 4pm on Tuesday 11th March to
       submit your defence. If you do not submit an AoS, then you have
       until 4pm on Tuesday 25th March to submit the defence.
       If you want to submit an AoS then follow the instructions in
       this linked PDF:
  HTML https://www.dropbox.com/s/xvqu3bask5m0zir/money-claim-online-How-to-Acknowledge.pdf?dl=0
       Otherwise, here is the defence and link to the draft order that
       goes with it. You only need to edit your name and the claim
       number. You sign the defence by typing your full name for the
       signature and date it. There is nothing to edit in the draft
       order.
       When you're ready you send both documents as PDF attachments in
       an email to claimresponses.cnbc@justice.gov.uk and CC in
       yourself. The claim number must be in the email subject field
       and in the body of the email just put: "Please find attached the
       defence and draft order in the matter of [claimant] v [your full
       name] Claim no.: [claim number]."

       >
       > 4. The Defendant attaches to this defence a copy of a draft
       order approved by a district judge at another court. The court
       struck out the claim of its own initiative after determining
       that the Particulars of Claim failed to comply with CPR 16.4.
       The judge noted that the claimant had failed to:

       > [indent](i) Set out the exact wording of the clause (or
       clauses) of the terms and conditions relied upon;

       > (iii) Provide separate, detailed Particulars of Claim as
       permitted under CPR PD 7C.5.2(2).
       >
       > (iv) The court further observed that, given the modest sum
       claimed, requiring further case management steps would be
       disproportionate and contrary to the overriding objective.
       Accordingly, the judge struck out the claim outright rather

       CPR 16.4.

       Thank you!
       What is the use of submitting an AoS and what will be the
       consequences if chosen to skip it?
       Do we have to provide any case reference when we say  ''The
       Defendant attaches to this defence a copy of a draft order
       approved by a district judge at another court'' or we are
       referring to this format as the draft order?

       The answers to your questions are given in the very helpful post
       by b789 above:
       No AoS means you have less time to submit your defence and if
       you don’t you’ll probably be found guilty.
       Draft Order is given to you to submit as is.
       You’re being very helpfully spoon-fed, what’s the problem?

       At risk of sounding pedantic, they're not going to be found
       'guilty' in the civil court. Let's not chastise OPs for asking
       good faith questions to further their understanding of the
       process.

       You can just provide it 'as is'

       You do not ned to submit an AoS. By submitting an AoS, you gain
       an extra 2 weeks to submit the defence. In this case, if you do
       not submit an AoS, you have until 4pm on Tuesday 25th February
       to submit the defence.
       The defence includes a draft order that the allocation judge can
       choose to use, or not, with which to order the claim be struck
       out for failing to comply with CPR 16.4. If the allocation judge
       chooses not to strike out the claim, it will be discontinued in
       any case before the claimant has to pay the hearing fee.
       This is not a criminal matter being tried. There is no finding
       of guilt as no 'offence' has been committed. This is simply a
       civil contractual matter and the court, in these cases, is
       simply a dispute resolution service. ECP are claiming that you
       are in debt to them and owe them money. The judge decides (if it
       were ever to get as far as a hearing, which it won't) whether
       you owe that debt or not.

       Hi there,
       I did send the application, and the court claimed that they
       never received the justification. When called court admitted
       their mistake and replied to say they will review and send the
       decision. However, received a letter from the court to say they
       have allocated this to small claims. Also, recevied a letter
       from DCB legal to say that they would like to challenge this
       further. Please find attached.
