I was in the same situation and I did not attend, in fact, I couldn't as I was not even in the country, oops!
You only need to go and contest it if you want to keep the house.
If not, why waste your time?? |

I know, I was so embarrassed too. In fact, on the day, they came and changed the locks, I parked up the street in my car early in the morning and watched them.
They sent about 5 bailiffs, who banged the door down, turned off the electric/gas/water, put a notice in the window and changed the locks 
How shaming. I sometimes see some of the neighbours whilst shopping, I just put my head down and pretend I have not seen them |

| It can take a while, if you do not contest the hearing this week, the judge will probably grant the Possession Order there and then to the mortgage company but the mortgage company have to then apply for a Warrant of Execution and from there, by law, you have to be given 28 days notice of when the locks will be changed. All this took months in our case. |
