Sorry I didn't realise I could check the history on there. 

Yes it does look like it has come from the court as opposed to the claimant.

OK , so now we all know that it's real and from the CCBC ( not a court ) although it seems very premature , complete the download pdf and email it to the ccbcaq email address plus the claimant , as explained in the newbies FAQ sticky thread and the 12 numbered steps in the defence template post by coupon mad

Thanks - I can't find the pdf to download but have already competed the form and scanned back in so can I just send this to the ccbcaq email? Also, how can I find the best email to cc the claimant as it isn't on any of the correspondence from them? 

Thanks again!

Yes , that works as well , although the CCBC firm gives you the link at the bottom of the page !

Check other VCS threads for probable email contacts , especially if it's not on the N1 court claim form !

Perhaps the letter from Elms gave you contact details ?

Look for a litigation email on the VCS contacts page too , it's definitely there , did you look ?

I've found their litigation email address now so have sent the DQ to the ccbcaq email and cc'd this in. Hopefully this is everything for now until we need to prepare witness statements?

There is something wrong there; the CCBC have not sent your defence to the claimant so cannot possibly have received the notification with the "we wish to proceed" notice!  Why then have they sent a DQ to you on the same day.   You should continue with the DQ file and serve but suggest you need to check with CCBC what is going on.

Maybe the CCBC has finally wised up to the little game played by roboclaim firms, whereby they send in a DQ that makes the CCBC assume that the Defendant has failed to do the same, even though no DQ letters were actually posted out.

I am guessing what has happened in some cases is that a lazy/credulous/naive CCBC clerk then sends the D a final letter, demanding they address their 'oversight' and giving them seven days to return a 'second DQ' which is in fact the first.

I'd be pleased if the CCBC do start sending out DQs on receipt of parking defences.  Their letter would then beat the roboclaim firm versions.

Morning, 

We have now received the Notice of Allocation to the Small Claims Track. Unfortunately the date given is not feasible as my wife is a teacher and unwilling to take time off for this during term time. 

It does give the option to inform the court that she will not be attending the hearing, and all relevant detail will be taken into account. Is this advisable, or will it have negative implications?

Taking time off for this during term time is simply not an option, so is there a way to request an alternative date, or simply not attend and still send the relevant details? The only other option would be to go through the mediation service if this is a viable option? 

Thanks!

You didn't say if she is the defendant , or a witness , don't expect volunteers to read back through dozens of posts to find out

If she is the defendant , when she did the N180 DQ she should have put down dates when she was unavailable due to work , so did she do so ? Have they ignored those periods of unavailability ? 

So many questions that you didn't elaborate on , causing my questions in reply in order to clarify matters

She doesn't want a hearing on papers , definitely not ! Nor mediation either ! Definitely not advisable

She should contact the court with periods of availability for the rest of this year , certainly up until the beginning of September for example , asking if a change can be done due to unavailability , especially if they gave her a red line date that she wrote on the DQ

Did You not show the dates of her non-availability on the N180 DQ?
