A long and complicated read, but need help please!

B789

Did you lodge an official complaint with HMCTS? Have you written to your MP about this travesty and asked them to intervene for you?

There are cases on here of people who have been paid compensation from the courts for their admin screw-ups.

However, you need to follow @Coupon-mad's advice. If you're not sure what an LBC or LoC is, you need to do a Google search for "Letter Before County Court Claim" or Letter of Claim" or "Letter Before Claim" which are all the same thing and are a part of the "Pre Action Protocols" for court claims.

Sounds like I was seriously let down by the system. I used my N180 for to inform courts of dates that could not attended. They set it for those anyway. I tried and tried and tried to contact them via telephone and email, to no avail. Eventually I made an official complaint through the court complaints procedures and it as taken nearly 3 months to get it relisted.
I had to pay the money to avoid a CCJ, and Now the solicitors despite being paid can pull out / vacate the case?

I can as you say take them to small claims, but at my expense and without legal training? 
 Another example of unfair this whole system is and how anyone with no legal standing has no chances against these legal parasites. 

Done the LBC yet?

It might stop them.
