"b). Court fees: £60.00 filing fee;"

Is that the correct fee?

Civil and Family Court Fees

From 18 May 2021

From part 1 - it’s a placeholder at the moment.. I will validate the court filing amount with the County Court Tomorrow and update accordingly.

You can verify it with that link that Grandad kindly provided. It's £70.00.

I have never had a private PCN or been involved in any Court claim , so if you think it's right and there is no more feedback , then go for it , because the errors you uncovered on timings etc should win out , meaning everything else flows from their incompetence

Defence & Counterclaim Submitted
Court Filing Fee paid, it was indeed £70 - I'll just need to be aware not to go over the £1000 threshold once costs are included (although I think given the amount I've spent on this at £19 per hour I'm likely to be a couple of hundred £ over - assume I could pay the additional fee if needed).
Am I right in thinking that next stage is a N180 Questionnaire?

Coupon-mad

Yes but the difference is, when you file a counterclaim, the DQ has to be returned to your local court that the letter attaching the DQ states.  Not to the CCBC.  But the letter will tell you that.

Received the following today - due back with local County Court by 14 June 2021 - Do I need to send Recorded, or just assume that If I post tomorrow it will be there on-time?
Notice of Proposed Allocation to the Small Claims Track (N149A) 
N180

Either hand deliver to your nominated court ( local ? ) Or post with a free certificate of posting from the P O Counter staff , not signed for , not special delivery , no such thing as Recorded any more !

It's deemed to be delivered 2 days later
