Upcoming Attended Hearing @ County Court - I cannot attend - Help!

Options
I have been notified of an attended hearing at my local County Court next week for a debt which I fully defended against some time ago.  It has been stayed and the creditor has now applied to lift the stay and request summary judgement against me.  I have a young, school-aged daughter who will be off school for half-term next week and I do not have any viable child care options.  Can anyone please advise?  Thank you.

    You should have put this on your DQ.

    Nevertheless tell them you can't attend. My local court used to have guidance that a defendant could cancel once. But only once.
