Hi all. So yesterday I received a letter from my local court
asking for my defence as they didn’t have it on file they said.
And also the directors questionnaire which I have sent to the
court. Today I’ve received an email from DCBL legal team
offering me a settlement out of court of £150 reduced from £305.
Shall I reply? And if so please can you help me what to put in
my reply.
Cinders - these people are amazing aren’t they so helpful. Glad
my long post is helping you too 😁

Do not reply to DCB Legal, this is just the start of their
increasingly desperate attempt to get money out of you. In due
course they will give up.
But ensure that your inept local court now has all the documents
you have already provided.

You MUST send a copy of your defence to the local court
immediately in response. Please show us the letter and stop
trying to paraphrase the content.
Ignore the settlement offer from DCB Legal. They will
discontinue.

Hi all. I’ve now received my court date which is a telephone
hearing on 9th July. Says the claimant needs to pay by 11th June
for it to go ahead so I guess I’ll find out soon after if it is
or not. However it’s asking me for the following: the parties
must by 4pm 21st may file at court and serve on each other the
written evidence upon which they proposed to rely , which must
include statements from the parties themselves if they wish to
give evidence. And then how to layout the info. Please can
someone advise what I need to send for that? Is that my defence
I’ve already served? Or something else.
Also I’ve moved house. I luckily got this letter on my last day
at my old house. Do I contact the court direct with new address
or the MCOL?
Many thanks for your help once again
Sue

Did you request a telephone hearing? If so, why? Which county
court?
You must notify all parties and the court of your change of
address. you can do this by email.

Regarding the documents you need to submit, it is NOT a copy of
your defence. It is you Witness Statement (WS). However, you do
jot want to submit anything before the claimant submits theirs
and I doubt they will. So do not prepare anything until you see
sight of the claimants WS. They are still highly likely to
discontinue.

Many thanks for your reply. No I didn’t request a telephone
hearing I’m not sure why it is one?
Also how will I know if and when the claimant issues his WS? I
only have 21days to do this will I be informed if they do or
don’t?
What do I write in my witness statement if they do send one?
I’m getting so scared now as I have no idea.
Thanks for your help.

Stop worrying! The claimant is required to copy you into
anything they send to the court. They must copy you in to their
WS. Even if they leave it to the last minute, it is not a big
deal in a small claims case if you submit yours a day or so
late.
If they do sed you a copy of their WS before the deadline, then
host it on DropBox or Google Drive and provide a link to it so
that we can review it and put together your WS for your case.
As I have already explained, I doubt that they will let this go
to a hearing and will discontinue before they are required to
pay the trial fee.
