DQ not received-claim struck out

Hi all,
I can't find a similar thread so apologies if there is one. I didn't receive a DQ or reminder in the post so emailed the court to chase and they replied
"Unfortunately we cannot process your Directions Questionnaire as it has not been received inside the time allowed. The defence has now been struck out. If you would still like to contest the claim you will need to apply to re-instate the defence. This application should be made using an N244 Application Notice and should be accompanied by a completed Directions Questionnaire. You will need to explain why you did not file your Directions Questionnaire within the deadline provided and why you feel you should still be allowed to contest the claim. If the claim against you was for over £10,000 please attach an N181 Directions Questionnaire; for claims of £10,000 or under please attach an N180 Directions Questionnaire. You will need to provide one copy of the application for each defendant, one copy for the claimant and one copy for the court. There is a £100 court fee to process the application without a hearing or a £255 court fee to process the application with a hearing, payable by cheque or postal order to HMCTS or by card by calling the Helpdesk between 9am and 3:30pm. Alternatively, if you are an individual (and not a company) and believe that you may be eligible for help with fees, you can apply for help by completing an EX160 application. If you pay the application fee but believe you are eligible for help with court fees, you have three months to successfully apply for a refund using the EX160 form.! Please note, applications are not automatically granted. The outcome of your application is at the discretion of the District Judge or court appointed Legal Advisor."
Will an application be successful and do I pay any fees at this point? Thanks in advance.

This is a legal/court procedure issue now, not a parking issue (was it even a parking issue?). Suggest you post it on a more legally-focused forum like Legal Beagles.Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .
I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

If the defence is struck out, you have seven days to object to that on the basis that NO DQ was sent to you. Do that first.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
