DCBL have just sent a "supplementary witness statement". Way past the deadline for that surely? I haven't read it yet

Hi Dave, yes, I found a general enquiries email address for the county court and sent the WS to that, but also printed it off and went into town and took it to the court in person, so hopefully I'm covered

WS now sent to Claimant. I'm not sure I can send a copy to the court via email? There is no email address indicated on any of the correspondence I've received from them

Thanks for your suggested additions, Dave, and well spotted re the timings of the metric payments. I hope you enjoy your well-earned mini holiday

Have failed the redaction test, yet again. Another attempt attached Couldn't see a ref on p11, other than that of the contract which surely doesn't matter. I think the claimants, if they're reading this, will have figured out who I am by now anyhow

Compressed version attached claimants WS+exhibits.pdf

I have received the Claimant's WS now, redacted version not attached as ca 11MB in total. Do I need to chop it up, or is there any other way I can upload it?

OK, but Monday is a bank holiday. Maybe send on Saturday?

Hearing is on 12th Sept so 14 days before is 29th Aug, or next Tuesday

I have messaged the person on Money Saving Expert who won their case but haven't received a reply. It's possible they're not monitoring messages anymore, I guess? Getting quite close to the 14 day deadline. Should I go with the WS we have now, and send it in?

Gosh this is hard work. No wonder most people just pay up. I have emailed Llangrannog Beach Welfare Committee re Case Numbers, and am awaiting a reply. In the meantime, here's a 2nd draft of the witness statement. So if I send paper copies of the statement + exhibits to the solicitors, and electronic copies to the court, is it OK to put them all in one ZIP file? And ok to include a link to the BPA Code of Practice, rather than copy the full document? Witness Statement vn 2 Redacted.pdf

OK, thanks for that advice. The hearing is on 12th Sept

Thanks , Dave, for the answers to my questions. Just a quick one - they already have my email address, I submitted my original appeal by email - no other reason to use snail mail then?

Thanks Dave, for your detailed replies. I'll try and put together another draft. In the meantime, a few more questions: I have messaged Sara Powell, but she doesn't have any case numbers. Is it worth emailing the Llangrannog Welfare Committee to see if they'll divulge the ones they understandably didn't want to put up on their website? The Unicorn Food Tax - I presume this is a term you have made up? Does it have a proper name? Aside from that though, the BPA code of practice §24.1b does say they're allowed to add up to £70 in debt recovery fees. Is there something else that contradicts this? Do I have to send paper copies of all the documents to DCBL and the court, or are electronic copies allowed? The "Statement of Truth" was copied verbatim from the Notice of Allocation I received, and it does say words to that effect anyhow

Thanks for your replies, Andy and Dave. Re "Why have I already sent them", I can't remember exactly, but I was required to at the time they declared their intention to take me to court, I think. I got a whole load of bumph from them too, photos of my car and signage etc. Re "Not nearly enough", surely quality over quantity? I'll await your more detailed reply, anyhow
