County Court Help

Hi Guys... I'm back after one hell of a hiatus!
Anyways, I just need a little practical advice over a county court situation.
I recieved a County Court claim dated 22nd June on the 28th June (submitted acknowledgement of claim that day) and sent a CPR31.14 request to the claiminat (Moriarty Law on behalf of motormile finance limited) on 29th June to which I have recieved no response at all.
I then submitted my defence to the court via the moneyclaim.gov service on 10th July and it was marked as recieved on the 11th.
This part is all OK, and I understand this.
Now, I'm given the understanding that they had 28 days in order to file a response to my defence - I have not recieved anything at all and today would be day 29.
I have however recieved a "Notice of Proposed Allocation to the Small Claims Court" which has asked me to submit a Small Claims Directions Questionaire by 15th August. This is dated 29th July, I have completed it and will be posting it tomorrow.
Does this mean that Moriarty have filed a response with the court? if so shouldn't it be showing on the moneyclaim website? Or is this a standard thing because a defence has been submitted?

So, am I in the clear now, in a few days, or am I going to be having a day in court?

It's a standard thing.
There should be a hearing in a few months, preceded by mediation if you opted for that, for a judge to consider your defence, and their claim.

I believe they have to serve and file any documents they will be relying on, 14 days before the hearing.0
