Is it through the "small claims" court? You should have received a letter with their claim and you counter claim online using the code they provide.
It is usually for a a claimant to prove, not you, that they tried to sort it out before hand. It is encouraged before using the court, if there are any falsehoods in the claim it will not go further than your response and will be closed.
So, counter it honestly and chances are it will be denied and the claimant charged the £70 or whatever it is.
Good luck.

I've had a Money Claim case referred to the County Court. As part of the evidence the defendant has submitted they've claimed that they offered to settle out of court and that I declined. This is not true, I agreed and signed their settlement claim. They never signed the agreement and missed their own deadline, at which point I escalated the case.
Will the Court see that the defendants claim is not true? Am I correct in saying that I can't offer further evidence once our initial evidence is submitted?
Is there a legal advice thread?
