Re: Lowells

Complete & return the DQ per the instructions.

I always tick 'yes' for mediation.

Is the claim under £10k?
If so it's likely to be Small Claims.
Are you intending to appear in person at the hearing?
& if the claim is against you as an individual, you can nominate your local court.

If you dont attend trial, you will face judgment being entered against you by the Court. You will either need to attend trial yourself with or without legal representation.

The order you have there is a standard order, you now need to file a directions questionaire together with draft directions and the Claimant will also need to take these steps. you must ensure you comply with the Courts orders or the Claim could be struck out and you could lose the right to defend it.

You appear to be at Directions stage. Once you complete the Directions Questionnaire the court will send out a court order . If both parties have ticked the box for mediation then the small claims mediation team will try and arrange a mediation appointment. If the mediation doesn't happen or is unsuccessful the court will order a trial/hearing date and the usual directions are for both parties to send each other and file at court any witness evidence or documents on which they are relying at least 14 days before the trial/ hearing date.

Re: Lowells

I think there is some misunderstanding by Rikardo.
There can be no CCJ against you until there has been a court case and you lost and didn't pay.
The case would be heard in a court local to you, and selected by you, and not in Northampton
