Sorry I got it mistaken, to confirm it was not a CCJ set aside but rather a Judgement for claimant (in default) which was sent by CNBC. This was sent to me on the 13th of March. After submitting my defence this was set aside on the 9th April. The claimant carried on with the original claim on the 12th May
I don’t know if a default CCJ is the same as a judgement for claimant (in default) but this is what I received on the 13th of March
There is also this, please let me know if there is anything else I can provide/help with to give you a better idea as this is all incredibly confusing to me

This is why we need to know what happens, when it happens. Not weeks or months later without all the facts!!!
As I suspected, the CNBC screwed up and the claimant obtained a CCJ by default. The CNCB has corrected this ad set aside the CCJ and you are now back at the point after you submitted the defence and are now at Directions Questionnaire time.
I have already told you what you now need to do in post #13.
This is still going to end up as a strike out or a discontinuation. Just remember to keep us up to date with anything you receive from the court or the claimant or DCB Legal.
Today I received this

The mediation call is not part of the judicial process. No judge involved. It is without prejudice so has no bearing on anything going forwards. The mediator is no legally trained and should they start to try and advise you on what they think the outcome may be, simply tell them to stop and say that the claimant has a copy of the defence and you offer £0. It will be over in minutes. Complete waste of time.
The mediator told me that the claimant believes my “defence is not acceptable” and they will proceed with a court hearing if a settlement is not reached

And….?
Of course they don’t believe your defence!
All sounds normal to me.
Apologies if you meant otherwise.
…and I told them that I do not wish to discuss a settlement, the claimant has a copy of my defence and I offer nothing, if they wish to go to court then let’s go
"...and I believe that the claimant has zero chance of being successful! Let a judge decide."
Hi so I have an update and want to continue this thread but it doesn’t let me upload attachments
The second page of that should give a deadline by which witness statements etc. need to be filed, does it? If so, when is that deadline? It is usually 14 days prior to the hearing, and more importantly after the deadline for paying the trial fee, but sometimes we see some anomalies.
So this is going to end up being discontinued just before the 9th January 2026. Come back and show us the N279 Notice of Discontinuance when you receive it.
