Small claims

[nellyF14]

We did a small claims after a customer owed us £5k just over - we agreed on a payment plan for 2 yrs and for 12months he has paid 7 but now no payments for months

We did email him as wanted to give him a chance and he said he basically has no funds etc and we said we don't want to go back to court ideally but we are a small business and really need the debt paying
He's now back to ignoring us

What's the next step ? Do we need do pay the court fee again?
Is it enforcement ?

I'm happy if we agrees a payment plan but looks like he's now blocked us

My ex partner admitted to my initial county courts claim and was ordered by the court to pay me the money owed, including costs. She has instead, counter claimed and I followed the court order to submit my witness statement and evidence to defend myself. She on the other hand, has (1) ignored my original claim judgement from the court and has not paid to date and (2) Has not submitted me her witness statement or evidence to support her counter claim, that has now been fast tracked to county court. We cohabited for 4 years and is claiming for Holidays she allegedly paid for and for eating out with then friends and family. She has done this, because I ended our relationship because of her unreasonable behaviour. I initially claimed for a planned holiday, that was never taken and paid her the money. I won my claim, but she has ignored the court order to pay. Now, she has taken out this counter claim as revenge and has not submitted to me her witness statement or evidence to support her claim, including dates allegedly owed. Can the counter claim be dismissed on the basis of not giving me evidence and a witness statement by the time and date ordered by the court?
