    On 29th August, I received an email from DCB Legal with an attached N180 Directions Questionnaire completed by them. However, when I logged into MCOL, I couldn’t see any update on my case file. Should I wait for the update to appear, or can I download the N180 form myself and send it in? Thanks.
    This is already explained in the first 8 steps.

    Thanks. Submitted N180 and now received a mediation appointment for 6th Nov.

    Should I prepare myself to explain to the mediator my defence? Any clues as to what questions will be asked?

    Why are you planning on doing that instead of doing what the 8 steps tell you to say?

    Sure, thanks.

    The mediation call is with regards to PCN Ref1 and I am still waiting for a claim to be raised against me with regards to PCN Ref2. During this mediation call, can I mention Ref2 also and try to settle both?

    I doubt it,  especially if DCB Legal havent raised a claim against you

    But you aren't trying to 'settle' a scam.

    They have now raised a claim with regards to PCN Ref2 also. I have completed the AOS and I am about to submit the same defence as previous. I believe I still shouldn't be mentioning about this in the PCN Ref1 mediation call and treat this entirely as a different case?

    If its a new claim,  open a new thread about it,  posting the name of the claimant and the legal company,  if any, plus post a redacted picture of the POC from the lower left of the claim form in the new thread,  redacting the VRM details first 

    Check who signed the claim form,  especially if it was signed by S.E.
