Thanks for all the answers.

Go to Citizens Advise .... since it's not a criminal matter I don't think legal aid will apply, however you can ask. PS unless you were knocked down and taken to hospital on the way to Court the Judge will NOT be sympathetic towards you - too many people waste the Courts time by failing to turn up and the inevitable result is that the hearing goes ahead and judgment made without you . you will need some good evidence (eg Doctors letter saying you were mentally incapacitated eg. unconscious, at the time) to get the Court back 'on side'
