Court offering mediation????

Ddd12

The debt collection  service have taken me to small claims regarding  a parking fine. The status at the moment is court have said the debt agency wish to mediate over the fine. ..I agreed and sent the papers back.  How can I be sure that this is a genuine case because I've never heard of debt mediation  for just a parking fine from a private parking company...how do they conduct a mediation  session and where?  How long does it take from me agreeing mediation  to actually getting it?  CAN ANYONE HELP PLEASE?

No they haven't. Debt collection agencies (DRA) don't take people to court over parking charges. Private parking companies (PPC) do, via solicitors, not DRAs. 

court have said the debt agency wish to mediate over the fine

DRA's are not involved in mediation. 

How can I be sure that this is a genuine case because I've never heard of debt mediation

It will be real.

how do they conduct a mediation  session and where?

By phone, in the comfort of your own home. 

for just a parking fine

It's not a 'fine'.

Who is involved here? Name of PPC? Name of DRA?

This is the third thread you have started about private parking tickets or the same ticket I cannot work out which.

You don't take any notice of any advice, you have been told these are not "fines", there is no such organisation as "The Debt Collection Service", you don't have an understanding of the blue badge scheme, you have agreed to mediation (a bad idea but too late) which you haven't researched, you don't return to your threads, you don't answer questions put to you, but just come back with yet another vague post, how do you expect people to be able to help you?

Every regular on here would help but you have to keep things together, you have to answer questions, you have to take in the advice, you have to slow down and stop making panic decisions, and you have to re-engage with us.

You have opted for mediation which will take its course over a phone call, but it will not be biased in your favour, just don't let them bully you accept nothing.

it is vitally important that you get an understanding of this, as you are setting yourself up for an expensive fall, unless that is what you want.

with regards to mediation, how much do you what them to pay you for all of this?
