Did @Coupon-mad's post on your thread on 20 June at 10:20PM not help?

The good thing is that N180 looks like the old version which doesn't make Mediation compulsory.  So this is all already covered in the NEWBIES thread.  Every question.

Savvy101

I think I understand what it is, am I right that is form N180.
Does this answer apply to me:
"A1 = Say NO to mediation (they want the whole amount, you want to pay them nothing, so no scope for mediation "

KeithP

Yes, definitely the older version of the N180 form.
The wording at the foot of the page confirms that...

4 , appeal, not appeals 

Ensure that DEFENCE is spelt correctly 

Once submitted, start thinking about settling out of court or at mediation, so before court fees start being added 

Any without prejudice offer can start low, say £30 or £50 but through negotiation might be agreed between £80 and £130 maybe 

Oh dear, do you mean, (Once submitted, start thinking about settling out of court or at mediation, so before court fees start being added ) there will be court fees on top of of the without prejudice offer?

No there won't. I told you what to offer and when to offer it.  Whatever you end up agreeing does NOT have fees added.

My reply above did already tell you that the offer "covers the court filing fee". Did you miss that? It's already in the offer.

There is no rush. Fees are not being added.

I did also tell you that £40 won't be accepted but it's a good starting point. They've only spent £35 on this claim.

DO NOT OFFER THREE FIGURES but expect to possibly end up somewhere near there. 

Hi and sorry if I am not getting my head around this. Should I agree to the mediation, is this where I start offering and negotiating?

Thanks

Yes in your case.

Thank you .I have gone through the questions and answers in the Newbies forum.

N180 Form - April 23 - Guidance Provided.]

Should I answer D1 as shown?

Savvy101

Hi, can someone help please. As I am agreeing to mediation does the answer in D1 in the Newbies form remain as it is? .

I take it I can also email it?

 I want to send off this form thanks.

Coupon-mad

We don't know what D1 is but if it's about the case being heard 'on the papers' without a hearing, that is always a flat NO.
