    I have my mediation appointment tomorrow, I was just having a look on here for any tips of how to handle it.

    So I can just say something like that rather than going into detail about my defence etc?
    You can merely say "My offer to the other side is zero and I look forward to court. Goodbye." and hang up if you wish.
  • All done, I let the Mediator waffle on for a while though.
  • By the way, how long do they typically wait before discontinuing?

    Until just before the hearing fee must be paid,  so probably next year in your case 

    Until they have to decide on paying out money,  they arent bothered to let it run until then

    There are two links about this 'nothing' stage in the Template Defence first 8 steps. No further guudance is needed.

    And even though this is stressful: while your case is quiet (Mediation is merely a burp before you gobble DCB Legal up and spit them out...because they'll discontinue in the end) please please do the government's Public Consultation.

    We need every poster to come back & complete this vital Consultation before the deadline (this time next week).

    We understand that you may need some pointers. It looks laborious, we get that. It doesn't matter; no knowledge is needed except re your own experiences so you can call out a scam industry and you'll protect millions of motorists and help change the law.

    I've written some guidance on that thread. I have covered almost every question, providing ideas if you agree with our stance on things like DRFs, which we say must be banned.

    Ordinary people like you are falling victim to this scam 15 million times per annum. Motorists need your voice added please.

    Did you manage to get the survey done please? This is the main fightback action this week! The guidance is on the thread.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
