which would mean I have to pay a hefty fee to submit the N244 form.

No it doesn't. No form is used.

You email a formal complaint to the CNBC and a tandem complaint to HMCTS. Saying that your N180 was sent and acknowledged and did not exceed 10mb (attach proof).  ALSO ATTACH A PDF VERSION NOW, TO HELP THEM DO THE RIGHT THING.

No application. No fee.

HMCTS normally reply to complaints about the CNBC fast and well.

Thanks for your reply. Do I use today's date in the PDF version, or the original dates from the previously submitted DQ?

The original exact match version & don't say you only just created it. Just attach it.

Thanks. I followed your advice and the court reinstated my defence. 

I received the letter confirming small claims track allocation several weeks ago, and have now received below email from DCB Legal. Do I respond or ignore?

you ignore

Starting to draft my witness statement, I can't seem to find a copy of the defence I submitted. Is there a way to view the defence I submitted?

Going back through the thread, you posted paragraphs #2 & #3 and you were advised to use the Chan & Akande arguments as the POC were sparse.  The rest of your defence would have been the standard defence template. Given the dates it is likely that you sent the defence by email, rather than on MCOL.  Can you check your sent items?

Doesn't matter; they'll discontinue this claim before the WS deadline anyway.

Is that so?

I'd rather not put in the time and effort drafting it only for it to be discontinued.

Will I be notified about the discontinuation or do I have to call the court?

Also, at this point I was hoping to claim costs, considering the damning evidence I have against the claimant. Can I still do that if they discontinue before the WS deadline? (Which is next week)

Looks like you haven't yet read Umkomaas' DCB Legal discontinuations thread. Over 700 examples show you exactly when this happens.

And your question about claiming costs after a late discontinuance is already covered, with 2 examples, in the NEWBIES thread post 2.

Apologies, I'm a little confused. I thought the discontinuances happen AFTER the WS & Evidence stage.

I understood the same from the examples you refer to in the NEWBIES thread, where it states:
"If the PPC DISCONTINUES just days before the hearing, you could try...asking for your assessed costs"
