    Happens all the time! Ignore them.

    "I will have all the necessary evidence for that"

    But you don't need any and unless it's actually a 'Dispute Resolution hearing' ordered by the local court, there's no judge at pointless Mediation call stage.

    Two minutes on the phone.

    No evidence prep.

    Stop reading the Mediation email like it's important! You don't even have to take the silly call! Re-read the 8 steps in the Template Defence thread.

    There are three links there about Mediation so it surprises me when people at your stage seem to forget about the '8 steps' advice and instead read the Mediation email like it matters. It's irrelevant to you.

    Mediation is like swatting a fly! Annoying buzz then it's gone…

    Currently, because this is Smart Parking, you are twiddling your thumbs for several months, waiting for the only important things:

    • hearing letter from local court, then
    • Inevitable DCB Legal discontinuance!

    😀

    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
