    Just had my mediation call. They offered a reduction to £260 from the current £299 or whatever it is. I refused it and made no counter offer. He originally told me we had over two hours allocated for the call. We were done in five minutes. Thanks for all the advice thus far. Very grateful. Will see what comes back next!

    Hello. Just an update. :)

    I did the mediation and followed your guidance. It went as suggested! 

    I have now been allocated a hearing at court in November. 

    Since then I have received a letter from DCB offering me a settlement of £80 instead of the £300+ "fee". A week later I got an email suggesting £60 would do the trick. 

    I believe I now just wait and either have my day in court or it gets discontinued if the claimant does not pay a fee by early October. Feel free to point out any errors in my understanding. 

    Thanks for all your help thus far!

    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
