Response to Eversheds- court hearing

from pendle (pendle@amun-ra.demon.co.uk)
I assume that you have received a claim form from Eversheds through the Court? If so, then complete the form to say that you are defending the claim and send it back to the Court. It is my understanding that the case will automatically be moved to your local county court.

If the branch of Eversheds that you're dealing with is in or near Cardiff, then it would be understandable that the claim is issued out of Cardiff County Court. As far as I am aware, all defended claims are moved to the defendants local court automatically.

If you don't have much time left to make your defence, then you can issue a "holding defence" - this is basically saying that you've got a defence but need a little more time to put it together. Then you'll get extra time.

Courts aren't supposed to give legal advice, but they can tell you procedure, and if you give them a call, they'll be able to confirm what you need to do.

If you can afford to, see a solicitor for help, most firms still do a half hours free advice scheme (not necessarily linked to Legal Help) which may be enough to put you onthe right track.

Hope this helps.
