Court negligence?

[khronus]

Although I have now received my bank statements from Abbey I feel the courts failed me in my DPA claim. I took a DPA claim against abbey, we phoned and phoned the courts over a period of several months to find the status of the claim, each time being told it had gone upto the judge and there was no current news. Then all of a sudden we get a letter throughthe door telling us the hearing was 'that day', we of course could not attend with such short notice. We immediatly phoned the court and informed them that we had received the letter on the same day, we also wrote and informed them of this. Upon phoningg a few weeks ago we were told that due to our non attendance the claim had been struck out! We told the clerk the situation who informed us that if we wanted it reconsidered we must pay another £65! Yesterday we received a letter confirming that the claim had been struck out. At the end of the day we have the statements from abbey so we dont want to start the DPA claim again but I do want to know how I can complain about the courts actions?
