Wait until they have submitted the defence then see if you can counter'discredit it.. just go into a court room, present your case factually and let the judge do the rest.
No need for solicitors0 -
No need for media - if this is smalll claims then the judgement only has to prove the "balance of probability" not "beyond reasonable doubt" - it sounds like on balance your goods weren't fit for purpose unless they produce evidence to the contrary
I've been and won and would have no probs going again if the need arose, very user friendly, just stay calm and give straight facts, not your own judgementYou never know how far-reaching something good, that you may do or say today, may affect the lives of others tomorrow0 -

Can I just say, and I dont wish to appear rude, but when you send any correspondence please make sure that you thoroughly spell check what you have written.
If you are submitting court documents you need to be certain that they are clear, concise and legible. If you struggle with this I'm sure we can help you compose statements etc, or failing that your local CAB will be happy to help you.0 -
thanks yeah i do struggle with this and think this is where i will fail in court.
will suspect they will send a lawyer and he will find a way out .
we simply went into a store told the guy what we wanted , a corner sofa which they had displayed , told him how our lounge looked and he done the rest, the sofa can only possibly fit 1 way as the patio doors span the length of the lounge, i even measured before we ordered , the longer part of the sofa fits perfect !! just he has put on the invoice these numbers and letters and i signed it thinking he knew what i was asking for !! also he said the cuddle chair would be covered exactly te same as the sofa !! so now i have a corner sofa the wrong way round and the cuddle chair (which is quite a large chair) stuck right in front of the tv literally !!!0 -

They won't be able to recover the costs of a lawyer, bearing in mind how much it would cost them I doubt it very much. Even if they did, just present your case and let the judge decide - they will make an impartial decision and shouldn't be swayed by a lawyer versus claimant situation.
Might also be worth taking some sneaky photos of the display item also to help prove your case.0
