Lifting a stayed possession order notice of issue?
In January, I obtained a N206A Notice of Issue (accelerated possession claim), following the service of a Section 21 notice and accompanying paperwork.
Slackness on my part, as I didn’t read it properly, caused me to ‘do nothing further’ till now, when I thought it was a long time in the system.
I thought things even for our overloaded court system were taking a long time.
I re-read the N206A and see that the bottom line is: ‘You have 3 months from the date by which the defendant should file a defence to file your request for an order. If by the time the court has not received either a defence or your request, the claim will be stayed’.
Advice on ‘lifting’ the stay is sought, please. Looking at government guidance it appears that I need an N244 and accompanying CH60 (ID). The fee is either £200 or £300, and I would rather send the correct one.
Wise advice sought, please.
Thanks,
Jim

It’s so complicated the wording. I have to pay someone now.
Hang on a minute, I’ve paid £400 for court hearing.
I’ve had to send in 127 paper pages cause u don’t accept email. It’s disgusting.
Yet u take my money, then give so many days and complicated words we can’t understand and if the tenant doesn’t reply, we then have to come back to the court to do such and such.
How do I know the tenant hasn’t replied?
How do I contact the court?
Why can’t u just set the hearing date as u know the tenant hasn’t replied, I don’t.
It’s so anti landlord. And they wonder why anyone less than perfect tenant can’t get house any more
