What if the defendant admits my claim?

If you claimed a specific amount, you will have received the defendant's admission form, telling you that they admit to owing you money. Check if the defendant has asked for extra time to pay the amount you must decide if you agree to this.

If you claimed an unspecified amount you will have received a Notice of Admission telling you that the defendant admits to being liable for payment. Either the defendant will offer a fixed sum of money to settle the claim (and you will have to decide if you are happy with this offer and any suggestion for payment), or they may admit the claim without saying how much is admitted.
