I was under the impression that the key point of the moneyclaim online
facility is that it can all be dealt with without a court appearance.
Hence it sounds like they are trying scare tactics...

IIRC Moneyclaim online just allows you to file the claim without
filling in paper forms and delivering them to your local court. If
the defendent files a defence the case is reallocated to a court local
to the customer.

Supplier. When I sued a 2nd hand car dealer in Small Claims Court, the
case was heard in the vendors local court.

That's unusal. It is normally the customer that gets the choice. Was
there any special circumstances?
