I have received a full admission asking for time to pay

Where the defendant admits all the claim asking for time to pay, he should notify you direct and should usually do this using the form (N9A) served on him with your claim.

You must decide whether you are willing to accept the terms of the defendant's admission. If the defendant's offer is acceptable to you, you may request judgment by admission through Money Claim Online by selecting the Judgment Start option.

If the offer is not acceptable, you should complete form N225 (PDF 34Kb) and send this together with a copy of the defendant's admission form (N9A) to MCOL. The court will then determine how the defendant should pay and will enter judgment against the defendant.

If the defendant admits the claim but fails to make an offer of payment you are entitled to enter judgment against the defendant by default

Please note: you may not request judgment by admisssion if the defendant has not provided you with a written statement to say that he is fully admitting the claim. To qualify as a full admission, the defendant must have ticked the box "I admit the full amount" and signed the statement of truth on the reverse.

Once you have submitted your request for judgment by admission, MCOL will deal with your request. Where it is received before 9am on a day when the court is open, the request will be processed at the end of the day: where it is received after 9am, it will be processed on the next day (again, at the end of the day) when the court is open and may not appear on MCOL until the following day (see viewing the progress of a claim).
