Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. I will let you know when I received the documents by post. I am trully grateful for all the support, the patient and the understanding. Hope everyone here have a Lovely Christmas Time. Thanks Thanks Thanks !!!

Good morning, I am litle bit confused, my understanding was that after the "mediation call" I only needed to report the name of the person from the Claimant and the position, which I did , and hopefully this will never reach a hearing in front of any judge and they will discontinue... but now you are sying : "It will be sent to your local county court in due course and you'll receive a Notice of Allocation and further orders." I am sorry but I am lost (maybe in trasnlation) , if will sent to my local county court it will be for a hearing ? I guess thsi will be notify to me by post ?

Good afternoon, Could you please let me know what happend after the mediation? When I will know if they decided to move forward to a hearing or if they will acctually discontinue and close the case ? what happen next ? Thanks.

Thanks , I will send the complaint right now. I also just got this email: Mediation Not SettledClaim number: ********Parties: CIVIL ENFORCEMENT LIMITED v ************Thank you for using the Small Claims Mediation Service today.Although a settlement could not be reached on this occasion the parties are reminded that Court is considered a last resort and in which case both parties are encouraged to continue to communicate where possible in an attempt to resolve the claim, you may find that today's mediation gives you both a base upon which to build on.If the parties can satisfactorily resolve the matter without the need of the Court, the Claimant should complete a notice of discontinuance using the appropriate form in the link and file it with the appropriate Court; N279 - w3 Notice of discontinuance (6.99) (publishing.service.gov.uk) or update Online Civil Money Claims through your account.If not already done so. the claim will now be transferred out of our business centre to a court where standard directions will be given and you will be notified in writing of the next stages to follow. It is important that both parties follow these instructions and adhere to the timetable set down by the Court which will include a further court fee and a final hearing for determination of the matter.

She literaly told me that the Claimant was not ready to close the Case, that they will put the case on a "List" for a Hearing, and she need it to explain me that if this go to court in front a Judge it's a 50/50 if I win good for me , but if I loose this will not be good for me and I will Get a CCJ that will affect my credit score and stay on my records for 6 years. Indeed I would like to complaint about her, how can I do that, I did not got her name .

OK Good morning, I just got the mediatoon Call, and they confirm :Full Name of the person attending is: Kye HorabinHis Role : Mediation AssociateAnd Yes he hold written authority to negotiate and settle today. I follow your instruction and keep my position saying: My settlement offer is £0, or I invite the claimant to discontinue with no orders as to costs. The Mediator lady just called me back and said that the Claimants is not going to close the case, and this is now going to be on list for a Hearing in Court in front of a Judge and it will occure in a CCJ to me. How we proceed next ?

Good evening, I just got a call from DCB Legal, traying to have a "settlement" conversation with me, I asked them why they are calling me if we aleady got a Mediation call, and this lady insist they just wanted to talk to me to avoid the mediation... I said I have nothing to talk to them until the mediation call. When I ask for her name, she just hang up. is this normal ?

Thanks for your support, apologize for my lack of knowlege using the incorrect terms. I am jus trying to understand the whole process, I do not understand why they decided to take me in the whole court process if the the odds of actually having to go to a hearing are slim to none... what's the benefit to do it all ?  What is the purpose of the "Mediation" call, just trying to scare me and continue to push/try  until they to get money from me ?  What are all the scenarios of this "mediation call" more than ask me to agree to pay ? What exactly means "if the mediator probes my defence" Sorry for so many questions, I just want all this to be over and forget about it. Thanks.

Good morning, Thanks for your recomendation, I will follow your instructions, already got an email from : NoReply_SCMS_Confirmation@justice.gov.uk with a Mediation date, and a request for me to confirm with my phone number, copy bellow: **************************************************************************************************************************Your telephone mediation appointmentAppointment date: 11/12/2025Appointment time slot: 09:30 to 12:30Your confidential telephone mediation appointment has been booked for the above date and time slot.

Thanks for your help and guidance, I just sent the email with the N180. What Happen next ? What Should I do if they call me for a mediation? or If they take me to court?

Thanks for your help and support, email sent! Now I got another letter by post dated 30/09/2025 "Notice of Proposal Allocation to the Small Claims Track" in the Civil Naional Business Centre with an Important Notice: "If you do not comply with this otice the court will make such order as appears to be appopriate. This could include striking out the claim or entering judgment. it has attached the N180 questionanaire just filled with the nae of the court and the claim number filled by hand but nothing else. and it saying I must complete the Form N180 and file it with the court office by 17 october 2025.Please let me know how to proceed .Thanks.

Good evening, Thanks for your prompt response,to answer your questions: 1. Has that letter been signed by an individual showing their full name (no initials) and their position within the company? NO2. Has the copy of their N180 Directions Questionnaire (DQ) been signed by someone with their full name (no initials) and state their capacity? NONo, as far as I can read, there is no signature nor full name of anyone as responsible for either the letter sent by email or the N180 Form. They only signed the N180 Form as DCB Legal.The email address came from a diferen email adress, apparently from DCB legal, but it's not the same used on the N180 Form. I am really sorry but I do not know how to attached copy of both documents here, cant' find the attachement option I am afraid.  Looking forward to hearing from you, Thanks again for your help,

Thanks for all the help, indeed I received a letter from HM Courts & Tribunal Services with the "Acknowledge receipt of my defense" and I also received an email on 17/09/25 (that I just found ) from Civil Enforcement with and attachement of the N180 saying this: Good morningHaving reviewed the content of your defence, we write to inform you that our client intends to proceed with the claim.In due course, the Court will direct both parties to each file a directions questionnaire. In preparation for that, please find attached a copy of the Claimant's, which we confirm has been filed with the Court.Without Prejudice to the above, in order to assist the Court in achieving its overriding objective, our client may be prepared to settle this case - in the event you wish to discuss settlement, please call us on 0203 434 0433 within 7 days and make immediate reference to this correspondence.If you have provided an email address within your Defence, we intend to use it for service of documents (usually in PDF format) hereon in pursuant to PD 6A (4.1)(2)(c). Please advise whether there are any limitations to this (for example, the format in which documents are to be sent and the maximum size of attachments that may be received). Unless you advise otherwise, we will assume not.What should I do now ? Coudl you please advise how to proceed ?Thanks,

Thanks for your guidance and support, as the MCOL web page still do not recognized my claim number nor password, I sent the email to both addresses.What is the next step ? I guess just wait for an answer by email or post? Should I expect DCB Legal to get in contact ?
