Just looking at the DQ. Is there anything to be gained from agreeing to mediation?
But if it does goes to Court will it be looked at more favourably if an attempt has been made at mediation??

Once again - 29 March at 9:00PM - I find myself having to point you towards information already given to you.

Please read again my post of 25 February at 12:46AM on your earlier thread. I know you've read it once because you have thanked it.
I guess you have forgotten it because you started a second thread. Silly idea.

Items 8, 9 and 10 on the list in my 25 February at 12:46AM post have your answer.

the MCOL system is used by parking companies for unpaid invoices, but isnt set up specifically for parking charges and the vast majority of cases are nothing to do with parking , but rent arrears , evictions and building disputes etc

so take all online advice with a pinch of salt

Update - having filed my defence and DQ yesterday I have just received a letter (sent to wrong address) stating that a CCJ was issued against me! I hadn't received any previous notification of it! The MCOL site acknowledges receipt of my defence and indicates that the DQ was sent out to me -- no mention of any CCJ being granted -- feel like I have been denied due process! Anything to be done?

Edit: Just got off the phone to the CCBC and they confirmed that no CCJ was issued! They also confirmed that we are at the DQ stage. The letter I have from VCS reckons a CCJ was issued on 26/03 -- how can they claim this if no CCJ was issued according to the CCBC???

Why was it sent to the wrong address? That's a really obvious question to ask!

the other obvious one is - who sent the letter? 

Show us a copy of it.

The DQ stage comes some time after submitting a defence. Have you missed your defence deadline?

Who sent the letter to you?

See above later edits to previous post. Initial letter from VCS and then a follow up from ELMS legal (debt recovery) - but according to CCBC no CCJ has been issued??

growbag

The defence was filed but during the closure of CCBC - but this is showing as acknowledged on MCOL and the DQ was sent out to me -- which I have now returned.

Again
why did VCS send it to the wrong address?
How come they have the wrong address?
definitely same pcn or court ref?

growbag

they sent the letters to my old address which is on my v5 - but i had written to them ages ago telling them to use my new address (which they ignored). The CCBC use the correct address. Definitely the same PCN/court ref. According to the CCBC (phone call) no CCJ has been issued as the case is being defended - and Trust Online does not recognise the Claim No so seemingly no public record of any CCJ

The first letter is from VCS headed 'Notice of Recovery' and claiming that a CCJ was issued on 26/03. The second is from ELMS legal headed 'Field Agent Attendance' adding another £90 to the total and asking me to pay within 10 days or they will send debt collectors etc. CCBC said on the phone that there was no CCJ (case at DQ stage) and I haven't received anything in writing from the Court about a CCJ. Just checked TrustOnline and this shows no record of any CCJ under my name (not sure how long one would take to show up on the register). If VCS are claiming that a CCJ was issued but it hasn't surely that cannot be legal??
