CEL battle - court

Hi all,
I need urgent help with a Civil Enforcemebbt Ltd court case.
Background is: received a claim letter in the post back in June regarding an alleged parking issue with CEL from the November before. Sought advice on this forum (thank you again to all those who helped) and wrote up my defence. I followed all the next steps and eventually got a letter stating that it had been transferred to the local court. I was given a court date in November, and I also got a letter stating that: UNLESS CEL provided further information by 24 October the case would be struck out.
This was the last contact I had. 24 October came and went and I did not hear anything so I assumed the case had been struck out (as I sort of expected it to be as the very nature of the claim was not fair, given it was 7 months later and they'd given their classic one line description).
Unfortunately I have just received letter saying that I now owe CEL £200 for not appearing in court!!! I completely hadn't understood that the case was going ahead as last I'd heard it was up to CEL to provide more information and I never received confirmation this happened. I have 7 days to pay.
I just wanted to ask anyone on this forum if they have any advice on anything I can do? Or have I lost this one?
Thank you so much again for the help and info you provide on here - hope others have better luck than me. I can't believe the absolute scam that is being allowed to run.
