A question about : County Court Summons

Just received a summons for a 'debt' which I am pretty sure is Statute Barred. The problem is I can't find proof of this.

Do I simply file a defence to the effect that it is Statute barred and leave it to the Plaintiff to prove the details?

Many thanks.

Best answers:

  • Sorry I have no idea but have bumped the post for you as I see no replies so far. Good,luck with it.
  • Six years applies as long as this is not a mortgage shortfall debt.
    Make sure you respond within the timescales - you can extend the deadline to 28 days if you acknowledge service within 14.
    Be aware that claimants are playing dirty by inventing payments.

  • Hi
    The others have given some good advice here.
    We generally recommend seeking some legal advice if disputing a court claim. We have a factsheet on replying to a county court claim which might be useful:
