How do I file a certificate of service when making a money claim online?
<p>I recently submitted online a court claim for money owed.  </p>

<p>Prior to making the claim I had written to the defendant several times to explain the breakdown of money owed but not got a response.</p>

<p>Now that it's been more than 14 days since the claim was submitted and he has not responded, I can proceed to a request for judgment.</p>

<p>The page says: "<em>If you served separate detailed particulars of claim on the defendant(s), you must have filed a certificate of service within 14 days of serving these and, where you've done this, you must confirm this if you proceed to request judgment.</em>" </p>

<p>I sent the separate detailed particulars on several occasions before the money claim.  And I have resent them now.  However, I don't know what a 'certificate of service' is, or how I can 'file' such a thing.</p>

<p>The answer I finally got from the County Court Business Centre was:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>To file a Certificate of Service please complete the attached N215.  </p>
  
  <p>Then send the N215 to:   E-mail:           ccbc@hmcts.gsi.gov.uk   </p>
