How do I refuse a defendants request for extra time to pay?

If you claimed a specified amount you need to complete the bottom section of the Notice of Issue.

If you claimed an unspecified amount you need to complete the Notice of Admission.

Make sure you explain clearly why you object to giving the defendant extra time. Send your form with a copy of the defendant’s Admission form to the court. Keep a copy for your own reference.

The court will then consider the defendant’s reasons as well as your objections and decide what is reasonable for the defendant to pay.

The court will send you and the defendant a "judgment for claimant after determination" with details of what the defendant has to pay.
