Thank you for the reply but this forum is a minefield for me and I am really overwhelmed with all the jargon and navigation. Can someone please send me what dialogue I should write in that form? I read something regarding mediation but it was directed further down the line. I just need to know what I am supposed to have prepared in writing in front of me on the day I get the call from mediation? What the outcomes can be and what to say in the event of each outcome please?

UPDATE!Driver has received an email from HM Courts & Tribunals Service which have arranged a "Telephone Mediation Appointment" next month; "FORM EX750". What should the driver do or say to defend their case and not be pressured to pay? This is what they are saying:1- Introduction from the mediatorThe mediator will introduce themselves and check that you have read and understood the mediation process.2- Explaining your positionYou will need to briefly explain your claim or defence to the mediator. You should prepare for yourself a brief summary of the main points.3- Negotiating optionsYou’re attending mediation with a view to settling your case. This means negotiating to overcome disputed issues. The mediator is neutral and helps each party to explore options and discuss risks. Mediation works when you’re willing to listen to what the other party has to say, negotiate, and agree a settlement.4- Building agreementSettlement can be in many different forms, for example, payment, goods, or work. Both parties must agree on the outcome and feel they have reached an acceptable resolution.5- Reaching a settlementThe mediator will read the terms of the settlement and confirm agreement with each party. Once agreed, the settlement is legally binding and cannot be changed. A copy of the mediation settlement is sent to both parties and placed on the court file.6- ConfidentialityAll mediation appointments are confidential. An agreed settlement includes a standard confidentiality clause.· Ending the mediation processThe mediator can end the mediation if, at any time:· either party breaches the terms on which they agreed to mediation· there is no prospect that the mediation will end in settlement.· the mediator deems it inappropriate to continue in the case that one or both parties are vulnerable users.· either party asks to end mediationDelegation of authority to mediate.Only complete the delegation of authority form if you will like someone to take the mediation call on your behalf it becomes a legally binding contract with important legal consequences.Filling out this form means you authorise your representative to agree on your behalf.

Thank you for the reply. I'll put that text in instead:"The Defendant opposes the Claimant’s request for special directions, and requests that the case be listed for an oral hearing at the defendant’s home court, pursuant to CPR 26.2A(3)"I attached a copy of the mcol screenshot in my previous post showing that the claimant filed a DQ but driver has not received anything as yet on the website nor in the post. Is this the stage where driver EMAILS their N180 to the claimant? If so, would that be on the MCOL website or who do I email it to? Smart parking or dcbl...?

I'm awfully sorry but I don't know how to do this. I have even asked a colleague to help out to "overlay a text box with the font you advised". I don't have membership for the acrobat pdf. My computer literacy is basic. Would it be easier if I print it off, hand write it then scan it and upload and send it when and if the time comes?Also I completed the E section with giving my details phone number and email. I ticked the rest of the boxes in E Section all as NO.I've also noticed this on the MCOL account. What does this mean?https://ibb.co/qYNXYd1k

Hi,Driver can't fit this text in the D1 SECTION of the N180 DQ form. Tried to reduce the font by copy and paste on to word document and transfer it over but still it won't fit.The writing is: "I wish to question the Claimant about their evidence at a hearing in person and to expose omissions and any misleading or incorrect evidence or assertions. Given the Claimant is a firm who complete cut & paste parking case paperwork for a living, having this case heard solely on papers would appear to put the Claimant at an unfair advantage, especially as they would no doubt prefer the Defendant not to have the opportunity to expose the issues in the Claimants template submissions or speak as the only true witness to events in question"Can you please advise what can be done about this?Driver hasn't heard anything back from the claimant/dcbl but driver followed your advice and was trying to prepare the document and save it for when it needs to be actioned, until they stumbled across this issue.In addition, does the driver skip Section E altogether? Which box in F2 does the driver tick please?

Thank you very much once again and my apologies for my delayed reply. I will wait until I see my own N180 on the MCOL website although it took me a while figuring out how to get on their website and sign in. I ended up scrolling up the pages and although I managed to find out, I have lost how I did it again. I have so much going on and trying to keep up with everything is mission impossible in my small numb brain of mine. Will keep you updated once I hear back.

Driver received an email today from dcb legal and the "N180" DIRECTIONS QUESTIONNAIRE saying: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).

Driver is worried that he/she end up incurring massive debts. Driver doesn't know how to fill out the form and not sure if they should email it back to bulklitigation@dcblegal.co.uk or post it but to where?! The N180 attachment is enclosed too. It also states:"Once you have completed this form, please return it to the court at the address shown on the form N149A Notice of proposed allocation to Small Claims Track.You must also send a copy of this form (N180 Directions questionnaire) to each of the other partieshttps://ibb.co/d0w6mYH8https://ibb.co/Kj17jbr6https://ibb.co/sdnMc0J1https://ibb.co/vvwc3KGGhttps://ibb.co/twFM6s9xhttps://ibb.co/Q7pRqHB7

Ok wow thank you so very much! I'm speechless by your wealth of knowledge on this! Driver has received a letter from HM Courts & Tribunals Service (please see attachment) HOWEVER driver hasn't received any letters from DCB Legal nor the N180 Directions Questionnaire. Also driver checked on MCOL website and didn't see anything there as yet. Does the driver wait until DCB Legal send them the N180?https://ibb.co/PZJkKRFK

Thank you for your response.Also thank you to all the HEROES on here who have been incredibly helpful and patient with my queries.I couldn't have done this without everyone's help  The driver/defendant has submitted their MCOL online. The question is, what happens next?

Hello again,Just want to check which fee payment the driver needs to apply for please? It says:Amount Claimed: £484.60Court Fee: £50.00Legal Representative's Costs: £50Total amount: £584.60Which fee do I pay on the MCOL website? £70? [url=https://ibb.co/bRNFF0k3https://ibb.co/v4p8mrh3ALSO: -Should the driver make a Counter Claim? If so, what to add?-Does the driver who is the defendant, have to put their date of birth on the form? It is also asking for email address and contact number. -Where and how the driver/defendant make the payment as they can't find the details for that.Apologies for asking so many questions.

It's asking for "Your Unique Reference". What do I put in there because it states across from it; "you may wish to enter your own personal reference for this claim". Do I just make up a name or something?

Omg, I thought I had read everything but obviously not! Thank you. I can see it. Thank you for your reply. I honestly don't know what I would have done without everyone's support.

Ok thanks 😊. Online, it's asking for "Defence Pack Password" and I can't see where it is. Is that the 12 digit number ending with 3 letter words OR the Defendant's name? Can you please advise where I can find it?

Thank you so much for your reply. Dumb question: - Which box do I register with?https://ibb.co/Y43cnxD6

I'm feeling very overwhelmed and not following what you're saying. I have a few questions:- Does the driver need to fill out the Claim Form? If so, which part as there are 4 pages.- Is it necessary to fill out the AOS? Or can the driver skip that?-Does the driver copy and paste your quote on page 4 of the Claim Form (please see the attachments) where it says at the bottom of the page, N9B?-What does MCOL and CNBC stand for? Sorry for so many questions but this is much harder than I thought. Many thanks. https://ibb.co/kVsC0YMzhttps://ibb.co/W4zyF1Qfhttps://ibb.co/vvH54Tsdhttps://ibb.co/9k8DwRGMhttps://ibb.co/CxSVfDxhttps://ibb.co/JgQxPNrhttps://ibb.co/5gRxPGFk
