-Received county court claim from VCS 22nd May 2016

-Received Directions Questtionaire as filled in by VCS on 28th June 2016
Want advice on:
1)How to proceed with mediation as VCS agree to the case being refferred to the Mediation service?
My research indicates I should refuse this, as they have no grounds to pursue me for costs as I am not the driver, neither have they followed POFA 2012 to hold the RK as liable. My research also indicates I should agree to mediation as this makes myself look 'reasonable'.
2)How to proceed with transferring the case to my local county court?
My research indicates the default position seeing as I am an individual and not a company etc, is that the case would by default be transferred to my local courts, and as a consumer I can request as such.
