There's still some way to go before you'll be required to attend
a hearing.
This is all part of the parking operators statistical game of
chess.
They are trying to pressure you into paying by using the County
Court Claim system as part of that game.
You are just going to play along.
At this stage they were hoping that you would either fold or
fail to correctly respond to court documents.
They will most likely discontinue before they have to pay
further fees.
Also note, court should hold no fears for you in this case -
your defence is already strong and will only get stronger when
we help with additional points.

Phew I was hoping that was the case. When a marriage ended years
ago I had to default on a lot of things and was then chased by
all the debt companies who all played many games. I learned to
take no phone calls and put 90% of letters in bin.
But this requires a lot of filling in I assume.
Do you agree small claims track is the appropriate track for
this case ?
Do you consider this matter is claim is suitable for
determination without a hearing ?
What is the name and details of person who will be attending
your mediation appointment?
Apparently sanctions if this doesn't take place.
Dates for mediation appointment?
(What is a mediation appointment???)
Which county court ?
Are you asking for the courts permission to use the written
evidence of an expert ???
Why, name of the expert.
Witnesses ?
Have you been advised of your right to give evidence in Welsh or
English ?
Legal representative for the
First
Second
Third
Claimant
Defendant
Part 20 claim
???

Below is some general advice on filling out an N180.
Re. mediation - it's now a mandatory part of the process, but
generally pointless in these sort of claims. Have a search
around on here for other cases that have gone to court and
you'll see what it involves.
[quote author=b789 link=topic=6895.msg85453#msg85453

Correct. Having received your own N180 (make sure it is not
simply a copy of the claimants N180), do not use the paper form.
Ignore all the other forms that came with it. you can discard
those. Download your own here and fill it in on your computer.
You sign it by simply typing your full name in the signature
box.
HTML https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/673341e779e9143625613543/N180_1124.pdf
Here are the answers to some of the less obvious questions:
[indent]• The name of the court is "Civil National Business
Centre".
• To be completed by "Your full name" and you are the
"Defendant".
• C1: "YES"
• D1: "NO". Reason: "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.."
• F1: Whichever is your nearest county court. Use this to find
it:
HTML https://www.find-court-tribunal.service.gov.uk/search-option
• F3: "1".
• Sign the form by simply typing your full name for the
signature.[/indent]

Also read Section A of the N180 form which explains mediation.

Just received this by email


Claim number: N1QZ5389
Parties: VEHICLE CONTROL SERVICES LIMITED V MR DAVID MCMAHON
Your telephone mediation appointment

Appointment date: 30/04/2026
Appointment time slot: 15:00 to 17:00
Your confidential
telephone mediation appointment has been
booked for the above date and time slot. The mediator may call
at any point within your timeslot to start the appointment.
Please be ready to accept a call at any point during your
timeslot. Your appointment will last for around one hour from
the point at which the mediator calls. The mediator will call
from a withheld number. Make sure that withheld/private numbers
are not blocked on your phone.
The mediator will call both parties separately – you will not
talk directly to the other side. They will try to help you come
to an agreement with the other party. If an agreement is reached
at mediation the case will not need to progress 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.
What you need to do to prepare for your telephone appointment:

The mediation service requires a contact number to conduct the
appointment. If you have not already provided these details in
your Directions Questionnaire then please contact
scmreferrals[member=6517]justice[/member].gov.uk prior to your
appointment so that your contact details can be updated.
PLEASE MAKE SURE TO PROVIDE YOUR CASE/CLAIM NUMBER IN THE
RESPONSE TO THE EMAIL.
If YOU will be attending the mediation appointment YOURSELF,
please provide us with your full name and the best telephone
number so the mediator is able to call you.
If you would like SOMEONE ELSE (like a trusted friend, relative
or a solicitor) to attend on your behalf please fill out the
attached delegation of authority to mediate form. Your
representative must know the facts of the case, understand how
far you’re willing to compromise and have full authority to act
on your behalf. You’re legally bound to any settlement
agreements your representative makes on your behalf.
Failure to provide contact details will result in your mediation
appointment not taking place and could result in a Judge issuing
a penalty where the mediation was mandatory.
If the mediator cannot contact you within 10 minutes of the
appointment start, the appointment will be marked as not
conducted and you may face a penalty for non-attendance.
Make sure you are in a suitable location for the appointment
that is free from distractions. The mediator will cancel the
appointment immediately if you are driving even if you are using
a hands-free device.
The dates to avoid which you provided on your Directions
Questionnaire were taken into account when booking your
appointment. We are only able to re-book appointments in
exceptional circumstances.

Please see attached documents for more information about what
happens within your mediation appointment.

Please ensure you also continue to check your junk email folder
for any future email contact from the Small Claims Mediation
team prior to your scheduled appointment.
