I sent my defence to Northampton CC with nothing written in it as directed and sadly they responded within the time frame with a directions questionnaire. Can I have some advice how to proceed. I have done a search and not found anything relevant-pedhapsmim looking in the wrong place?
I have also attached a photo of the covering letter. Really appreciate any help. Many thanks |

Who told you to send in a defence with nothing on it? It is advised not to complete the defence when you acknowledge the claim. just acknowledge the claim which gives you 33 days form the date of issue to get the defence to the court.
Looks like the case is continuing without a defence from you. When was the claim issued? |

Perhaps I have worded this wrongly. I replied saying I was going to defend but added nothing further as advised on another forum. This bought me extra time to prepare my defence and in the meantime they have sent this questionnaire. How should I fill this out?
Thank you For some reason I have tried to attach photo and it is not uploading despite being well below required size |

I can't understand what "I replied saying I was going to defend" means
The court papers gave you two options 1 Return the acknowledgement of service within 14 days, giving you an extra 14 days to submit the defence 2 Send a defence within 14 days It sounds as if the court treated your "I'll send the defence later" as your actual defence and sent it to Gladstones I can only see two options here If more than 33 days have passed since the date of the claim, pay it It's too late to submit the defence and you have no chance in court If less than 33 days, send a defence immediately, copy to Gladstones, and tell the court that it's mistaken your acknowledgement of service for your defence The court may refuse leaving you with the cost and expense of applying for a set-aside order later |

I have been away on holiday and have now been sent Notice of Proposed Allocation to the Small Claims Track
Am I meant to be filling this in AND the directions questionnaire. In answer to the above I did option one and returned the acknowledgment of service and in the meantime the above two letters have been sent Apologies for coming across as thick but this is something I have never dealt with not really understand the process of. I greatly appreciate all help. Thank you |
