Just remember, when you are in the call, you offer £0 and it will be over in minutes.

I think another appointment will be mid January now, but I'll keep that in mind for the next one.

These mediation calls are a complete waste of time in these types of dispute. Your only obligation is to "attend" the call. You are under no obligation to get involved with any "mediation".

It is not part of the judicial process. There are no judges or lawyers involved. Just a trained "mediator" who is not legally qualified.

You literally say that you dispute the claim and you are not prepared to offer anything. That will be the end of the matter and it has zero bearing on anything going forwards.

I attended the mediation call and I've now received a transfer of proceedings to the court for allocation.

Are there any further actions for me to take at this point?

Not for now. When you receive the case management judge order, show us. It will contain important information on how they intend to deal with the case and, if necessary the date of the hearing and deadlines for submitting evidence in a Witness Statement (WS).

I have received a notice of allocation to the small claims track with a date for the court hearing.

On the same day I have received an offer from the solicitor representing them stating that they would reduce the full and final settlement to £80.

Would you like me to share any of this on here?

Please show us the allocation order. It needs to be scrutinised just in case there is anything that can be easily missed.

The contact from DCB Legal with an offer to settle is standard and is the precursor to their discontinuing the claim. Do not respond to any offers to settle. Do not even acknowledge them.

They will discontinue just before the deadline to pay the trial fee. When you receive a copy of the N279 Notice of Discontinuation (NoD) show it to us for the record.

Here's the allocation order:



Sorry if I've gone a bit OTT on the redacting, if you need any more information from it I can share what you need.

Thank you for your help.

Just my address.

I've attached the bundle of files with generic information provided by the court.

For heavens sake... what have you redacted the dates and the name of the county court????

Just follow the process. You will soon receive either a call or text or email or letter from DCB Legal offering a settlement. Ignore all offers of a settlement as this is just precursor to them discontinuing that claim. When you receive the N279 Notice of Discontinuation (NoD), please let us know and show it of the record.

Trying to make it unidentifiable  ;D

Would it be of benefit if I unredacted it?

I'll follow the process.

Unidentifiable for what reason?

Time to take the tin-foil hat off. These companies issue over 40,000 PCNs a DAY!!! Trust me, the small cadre of hooded but technically savvy "yoofs", will have their hands full without trying to scour the interWeb for your case. Even if they did manage to identify that you are receiving assistance from a specialist forum, what are you imagining they could do with that information?

Fair point, well made, you would be more experienced with whether the information is accessed at all.

Are there any other considerations if I share some of the redacted parts, or is the outcome still going to be the same?

There will be absolutely no change in the predicted outcome. We need the dates and which court for our reference and stats.

This will end in a discontinuation.

Is there any risk of this going to court?

If I was to pay the £80, could this be adversely used against me?

This court date will end up disrupting work and ultimately costing me more than £80 for the day, just for time and the stress of preparing for it all.
