I think there may be a clue in this line:

Ms Brown said she could not afford legal representation at the time.
My suspicion is that, lurking behind the complaint that she couldn't afford legal representation, we may find that she didn't go to court herself, effectively rendering the case uncontested. Those of us who have read the Davenport Lyons/ACS download3rz thread will be very well aware of what can happen if someone decides to ignore a summons and fails either to send a solicitor, or at the very least turn up to defend themselves, at the county court.
