As a business, you certainly have no consumer rights. 

You would be better off posting this in the mortgages, homes and bills forum.

Even better, the House Buying, Renting and Selling board.

And you may wish to recheck and correct dates before posting ... you certainly did not submit a claim on the 20th April 2024.  

Plus provide a bit more detail ... Mr X? Dr X? Why the different titles? Different people? The same person? The reason for the stay(s)? The relevance of the bars?

What do you need to do next?  Review your training record on how to be a landlord and court processes and then fill in the gaps IMHO.

When did you first serve s8 for arrears? Have you evicted tenant?  How much was claim for please?

Good luck

What does Covid have to do with it?

Covid measures where lifted in March 2022 so its a year later that you filed.

So, you made an application for summary judgement using form N244. Given that the defence was struck out, the application should be successful, and you should get back a natty bit of paper stamped by the court with judgement in your favour. 

Then, you have to enforce it!  Does the ex-tenant have any money? Do you know his address currently?  If so, you can instruct bailiffs to collect.  Or, transfer to the high court, for a fee and more paperwork, and instruct HCEFs. 

If the tenant has no money, I suggest you frame the natty bit of paper and stop wasting any more of your time on this.

I have found dcbl very poor to recover

N244 is usually used to Set Aside or Vary a judgment, or suspend any enforcement process. It's not used (AFAIK) to enforce a judgment. (Also the fee of £108 is typical for a Set Aside With Consent ... the usual fee is £275).

Something doesn't quite add up with the content of the OP.

Not clear what's going and what your are trying to do.
1) How much are the rent arrears (in months)
2) Have you filed a S8 to evict? Otherwise you'll continue to be in this position
3) Who were all the Stays and bars for and on what grounds- at your request or the defendant's?
4) Why did you file a N244 form, and what did you state?
