    In the image on my last comment showing the thread options I can see starting with ''Template' defence suggestion...' and '**NEWBIES PRIVATE PARKING...' 

    Do I find the '8 steps' in one of these?
    Do I find any advice about the mediation call in one of these?

    I've been searching for advice on this and scrolling through lots of things but not finding 'mediation' which may be covered in 8 steps. Trying not to ask same questions but panicking a little about what to do in 'mediation'.

    Correct,  ignore the POPLA DECISIONS at the very top,  in first place,  you want to read the two below it, in second and third place,  click on each, read what I mentioned , yes the advice is there, coupon mad made sure of it, so we all look there , as should you

    So you posted the screenshot, they are plain as day in that screenshot,  in second and third place 

    You don't discuss the case at mediation,  just a settlement figure of say £10, or offer nothing at all,  decline to settle and end the call, its purely about money,  don't discuss anything else at mediation,  some calls last 5 minutes,  or less, so it could be 

    Hello, no offer,  no settlement,  see them in court,  thank you,  goodbye
