Sorry to disagree on part of your post bu it is up to the claimant to inform the court that this is settled and the case need not go on. A court would take no notice of a defendant saying the case is settled.

Sorry to be a bit dim, but if you were to accept an offer, obviously you would have to inform the court that no hearing was now to take place, but how do you inform them?

Always do it in writing. Don't forget the phone is anonymous it could be anybody at the end of the phone.

You just send a letter to the court headed case number......... Hearing Date........(if applicable) and state this case has now settled no further action is required please cancel the hearing (if applicable)

I've just got my decree. Its says the following it doesn't say how many days to wait before enforcing, so does that mean if I can get in now before they can get judgement set aside?

The magic word is "reasonable" open to as many interpretations as you would care. Personally 14 days is a reasonable time. You will definately know by then if they are going to ask for judgment to be set aside. You don't want to be wasting the enforcement fee if they do as it stops the bailiffs doing anything until the application is heard.
