    Does the LBC add anything to support the defence as filed?
    Not really no. 

    The documents i received from the courts mentioned including letter making the claim and also something to go in front of the bundle. Im thinking what i already have on 1st page  is sufficient?

    And that it is perfectly proper to throw out the whole claim.  Surely now these two companies will think twice before trying to claim these unlawful amounts.   
    I guess if they do add the fake, they will get spanked. Only fools walk into the fire
    Problem is they will only "get spanked" if the claim is defended.

    Another PPI perhaps?

    The letter making the claim is, I blieve, the claim form. 

    For a front page - youre sending by email, so it tells you to give the details in the heading.

    This is the only justification for the additional £60 - a debt collection charge - but i have received any contact from any debt collectors - not sure if they refer to the process of start court proceedings

    IIMU that DCAs usually take a percentage of the debt on a no win no fee basis.

    Also becuase i don't have a transcript but i have referred to this case do you think i should include a screenshot or link as an exhibit. Not too sure because its from a news website.

    Wouldmit now not be unreasonable to complain to the SRA every time a solicitor adds this fake charge?

    Does that case mirror your own precisely, or are you adding it because it is the same parking venue, or because it's the same Claimant?  You need to say clearly what your objective is in wanting to add it to your WS. 

    Do not give a Judge an internet link to chase down. At best he won't bother, at worst you might just pee him off!
