    No

    You could accept the offer 

    You could try to negotiate a lower settlement 

    Or you could ignore it. ( Or reply saying no )

    What you definitely do need to do is comply with the court order

    That sign has the charge buried in small print and does not conform, does the entrance have any conforming signage?
  • @fisherjim, thanks for your response and the information you've provided. The entrance does not have any conforming signage. Am I correct that I can include this as evidence at the court hearing? Many thanks

    Of course the whole charge is based on a commercial supply contract, if the contract isn't displayed correctly or at all, how on earth can you know about it or comply with it?
  • Good morning everyone, sorry to be a pain. Can anyone please send me the link(s) to witness statements? I am struggling to find them. I would like to review and tailor one please. Many thanks.

    Have a look at the final efforts by these posters, who all won:

    @Defendant911

    @Harry77

    @Milliered

    Hello everyone, 

    Letter received with a court date set for January 2026. I have now received an email with a Mediation Appointment set for 28th May 2025. I do not want a mediation and would like to proceed with the court date. Can you please advise on my options and the best way to proceed?

    Many thanks for your help.
