Response to i've handed in the keys, now they want to take me to court!

You need to get to a solicitor immediately.

Your summons should have given you 14 days to: a) write back with a defence (or counterclaim), which in your case was that youhave already handed voer possession b) ask for the hearing to be transferred to a court more local to you.

Your defence should point out that no costs were due to you because you had already ceded possession and therefore no court case was necessary.

I'd say you need to get a solicitor to help you claw back what you can from this situation.
