DUPLICATE THREAD - PLEASE IGNORE

This is a continuation of an issue regarding a MCOL which was sent to a previous address.

Relating to this early thread, where a County Court Claim Form was forwarded to me from my previous address. MSE community advised I quickly submitted my template defence as advised in December 2020.

This is my first time and I forget the process now, but it seems MCOL still don't have my new address or notified me my email. I thought I'd given them my new address, apparently now. bwlegal somehow have it.

So bwlegal this week notified me that I lost the case and reduced the MCOL of £253 to £160 if payment made by 5 May 2021.

A claim was issued against you on 20/10/2020
Your defence was received on 31/12/2020
DQ sent to you on 21/01/2021
DQ filed by claimant on 03/02/2021
General sanctions order was made on 25/02/2021
Defence was struck out on 22/03/2021
Your defence was rejected on 22/03/2021

So it seems the DQ was posted to the old address? I haven't received it at my new address.

Can someone please advise what my options are regarding continuing to fight, or accepting the £160 reduced amount.

On a side note, I feel aggrieved that my ticket expired/wasn't renewed on time (the claim states) as both ticket machines didn't accept my pound coins, and so I had to travel across town to find my partner with my wallet for a card before renewing the ticket. And whilst this moan might not serve me well in court, my entire defense seems to focus on other matters, ones of a legal jargon I didn't understand. Ahh.
