I am a little concerned having looked at the Claim History on MCOL as it shows that the claimants DQ was filed on 7th September but there is no record of my DQ having been filed.
I returned mine via recorded post on 3rd, and having contacted MCOL they say the standard processing time for documents sent to Northampton is 3 working days.
The deadline for me to file was 9th September.

I asked before but nobody answered. Is there a good chance this won't go the OPs way?
The company sound like t
ts and deserve a kicking but if the court has to go on the facts then all they have is a load of he said / she said and the one concrete thing they have is the invoice signed by the OP agreeing to the work/ charge and promising to pay it.

Well I’ll answer and in my experience I’d say there’s a very good chance the op will win but you can never say 100% with litigation. In the County Court it really does depend on the Judge on the day.The company sound like t

Op you need ALL the evidence well documented, that’s EVERYTHING you have and don’t forget to give the other side a full copy of everything you have before the hearing.

In my opinion - if a judge rules in the claimants favour then I am happy to accept it as my fault.
What I dont want to do is pay up when I feel like I have been robbed, and forever regret not fighting it.
All I can do is put my side across, they can put theirs across. Maybe they will lie. But even if they do, they wont have anything to back themselves up with like I do.

When you say give the other side a copy of evreything I have before the hearing - can that just be a photocopy of everything I will be presenting when I go to the hearing? Op you need ALL the evidence well documented, that’s EVERYTHING you have and don’t forget to give the other side a full copy of everything you have before the hearing.
(Emails, invoice, photos, debt collectors letters etc)

Documentary Evidence
Whenever a case is proceeding towards a trial, the court will give directions which tell the parties what they need to do in preparation for the final hearing. For most types of cases this will include the preparation and exchange of witness statements and the disclosure to the other side of any documentary evidence which may be relevant to the case.
In the small claims court the directions given to the parties are usually very basic. In most small claims cases the parties will simply be told to send copies of all documents on which they intend to rely to the court and the other party at least seven days before the hearing. The parties are also told to bring the originals of all documents to the hearing. The types of documents will depend on the nature of the case but may include:
Contracts and agreements;
Letters, emails and any other correspondence between the parties;
Invoices;
Receipts;
Statements of account.
The judge has the power to give more specific directions if a particular case requires them.

I was wondering what was happening. No problem op, just send the paperwork they’re asking for to the Court and the Claimant. I’d then try to put it out of your mind until the hearing in February.
Thanks, I was worried that the wording seemed strange - 'particular whether the present parties are the correct parties to the proceedings'.It's also being held at a magistrates court much further away from me rather than the local county court...
