It does not have to arise out of the same transaction. If the offsetting claim brings the debt down to $4,000 or less, the demand can be set aside, or the amount varied.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1607\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"7\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1607\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" href=\"\">7. &nbsp Can a statutory demand be set aside because of a defect?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1607\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"7\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1607\"><p>Yes, but generally only where the defect would cause substantial injustice, for example a materially misstated amount, a wrongly identified creditor, or a missing or non-compliant affidavit.
