And even if they go down the full county court route you can ask for it to be re tracked to the small claims track which then makes it a massive headache for them as the court gets moved to your local court, their lawyers fees are owned by them.
I successfully fought a claim by a supplier for a show stand which they agreed to drop if I dropped my counterclaim (for my deposit cheque) as effectivly their lawyers costs / travel etc would have outweighed the claim. I would probably have won, but the risk / reward / time / effort at that point became to great (a very different circumstanse to those in this thread but an story to highlight the big business bully tactics).
