The following notes hopefully will help you decide what to do if you have received a claim form. A leaflet is also available from the court office explaining what happens when you come to a court hearing. The pack will arrive and include two forms,‘Admission’ and ‘Defence’.
It is essential you reply to the claim form within 14 Days of the date it was served on you:
If delivered or left at your address, the date of service will be the day after it was delivered.
If it was handed to you personally, the date of service will be the day it was given to you.
If sent by post the date of service is taken as the second day after posting (refer to post-mark).
