Hello all,
An update on this one. I was pretty frustrated with it all and wished I'd settled out of court, anyway I pressed ahead ready for the hearing on July 2nd but received a 'Notice of Discontinuance' letter a few days ago from BW Legal. They've discontinued all of the claim. A big thanks to everyone who helped, particularly @Coupon-mad as I guess they folded because they felt their evidence wasn't as strong as the evidence I managed to put together using all the resources and expertise here.
It's great to finally put this all to rest!9 -
This is very common this year. Well done - you won!
ANOTHER BW LEGAL ONE BITES THE DUST!
I was wondering how your case ended, because I use yours as a good example of the documents to file & serve at WS stage. Please make sure the documents you posted for checking earlier in this thread stay available as links, because they are shining examples - your hard work was worth it to beat a scam!PRIVATE 'PCN'?

Yes I've not been on here for a while and came back to a lot of notifications where you'd linked my thread, I never expected to become a model student as I thought I was making a hash of it all! Yes I will leave them linked so that others may benefit, I might be able to tidy them up a bit actually so there's not so many files.5

Brilliant result. Well done in having faith in the forum, because I think you were on many occasions wanting to capitulate. Warm feeling. Good end to the weekend for me. 👏Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

If you tidy them up, repost them in a final reply here so people see them again.

I'm surprised you even remembered my case you have that many to keep track of.
I ended up condensing it all down to 3 pdf files, I need to redact them though before I can post and not quite sure how to do that - let me check4 -
They have wasted a lot of your time, now waste some of theirs, consider sending them an LBC,

@Coupon-mad
I've attached the final draft of my bundle edited down to 3 pdfs for convenience. Hopefully others find this useful, I've also edited the WS and Supplementary WS to include the updated statement of truth (April 2020)8 -
Lovely!
If you get a chance, could I trouble you to change the statement of truth on both your main and supplementary WS to the longer version (April 2020) as shown in the NEWBIES thread, please?
I know you didn't use it because your case was happening just as it changed - but going forward, we'd love to be able to point to your documents but can't keep correcting people to use the new statement of truth!PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
