Update
Received email this morning from SCMS as below.
Your confidential
telephone mediation appointment has been
booked for the above date and time slot. This means that the
mediator will call you between the times shown. Your appointment
will last for around one hour from the point at which the
mediator calls.
The mediator will call both parties separately – you will not
talk directly to the other side. They will try to help you both
come to an agreement before the case goes to court.
Where your mediation appointment is mandatory, If you do not
attend the appointment, the judge will take this into
consideration at any court hearing and may issue a penalty. This
could include the judge automatically ruling in the other
party’s favour or ordering you to pay for some or all the other
party’s costs.

Is there a question with that post or is it just an update?

The mediation is not part of the judicial process. No judge or
solicitors involved. Your only obligation is to "attend" the
call. You offer £0 and it is over in minutes. It has no bearing
on anything going forwards.

Update as follows,
Call received from mediation service today, UK Parking Control
offered to reduce claim by £50, I rejected offer and offered £0
zero as per advice above.
They have rejected that and it's now being passed back to court
unless they or myself back down etc.
Email received about 3 hours later from HM & CTS
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.
Thanks again.

Nothing received as yet since mediation call on 14 April,
checked my MCOL and seen this - your claim was transferred to
ST. HELENS on 22/04/2025
Anything to be concerned about as I had requested local county
Court which was Kingston On Thames?

You must contact the CNBC and tell them that they have a muppet
in their admin who is constantly sending claims to St Helens
instead of the defendants local county court as required under
CPR 26.2A(2) and Practice Direction 26 (PD26).
CPR 26.2A(2) provides that, where the claim is a small claim
(i.e., allocated to the small claims track) and the defendant is
an individual (as opposed to a business or company), the hearing
should be transferred to the defendant’s home court once
allocation is decided.
Practice Direction 26, paragraph 7.1 elaborates on this,
stating:
[indent]"Where a claim is being defended and the defendant is an
individual, the claim should be transferred to the defendant’s
local County Court hearing centre."[/indent]
Thus, for defended small claims involving an individual
defendant, the default position is that the hearing should take
place at their local court, unless there are exceptional reasons
to do otherwise.
You now need to send the following email, marked "!!! URGENT
!!!" to dq.cnbc@justice.gov.uk and CC
CaseProgression.CNBC@justice.gov.uk,
customerservicesnorth@justice.gov.uk and yourself:
--- Quote ---

> County Court Business Centre (CNBC)
> Email: ccbc@justice.gov.uk

> Dear Sir or Madam,
>
> I write as the Defendant in Claim Number [insert claim
number].
>
> I completed my N180 Directions Questionnaire, clearly stating
that my preferred local hearing centre is Kingston-upon-Thames
County Court. Despite this, the case has incorrectly been
referred to St Helens County Court.
>
> Under CPR 26.2A(2) and Practice Direction 26, paragraph 7.1, a
defended claim against an individual must be transferred to the
defendant’s local hearing centre. This misallocation represents
a breach of the Civil Procedure Rules and should never have
occurred, particularly when the correct hearing centre was
explicitly stated on the Directions Questionnaire.
>
> This is not an isolated incident. It is part of an emerging
pattern where defended claims involving DCB Legal Ltd are
improperly allocated to St Helens County Court — a court local
to DCB Legal — rather than the defendant’s local hearing centre.
>
> There are only two possible explanations for this serious
failure:
>
> [indent]• Either CNBC administrative staff are unaware of the
basic requirements of CPR 26.2A(2); or
> • There is improper bias, favouritism, or even undue influence
being exercised by or on behalf of DCB Legal Ltd to achieve
allocations favourable to them.[/indent]
>
> Either scenario is wholly unacceptable and risks undermining
public confidence in the fairness and integrity of the court
system.
>
> I therefore request the following:
>
> [indent]• Immediate correction of this error under CPR 3.3(4)
without the need for a formal application or payment of a fee,
transferring the case to Kingston-upon-Thames County Court; and
> • Written confirmation that this has been done; and
> • Confirmation of what steps CNBC is taking to ensure that
this systemic failure is identified, investigated, and
stopped.[/indent]
>
> If this matter is not promptly corrected, I reserve the right
to escalate this to HMCTS Regional Management, the Civil Justice
Council, and my Member of Parliament, including providing
details of the pattern of misallocations benefiting a particular
bulk litigator.

> Yours faithfully,

You should also try calling the CNBC and telling them to fix
this problem they have created.
