    thanks coupon, just to clarify, does this mean sending all the stuff we've already sent all over again?  I can't see that anything new will be added?
    No. You sent your defence which was written in the third person defending what the allegation in the PoC claimed. Your WS is your version of events written in the first person, expanding on what your defence pointed out.
  • sorry but with the way things are at the moment since we had a horrendous family tragedy I'm struggling to navigate the newbies thread.  I'm looking at the half dozen or so pinned threads at the top of this section but couldn't find the draft WS by baz417 - also the bit about what's vital for the hearing - is it too much info to copy/paste on here ??  Help is appreciated hopefully there'll be a party at the end
    The WS by baz417 is contained in their own live thread and not a pinned "sticky".  As of typing this their thread is just below yours on the first page of non pinned sticky threads. I think there are dropbox links for the WS on that thread.

    I'm not sending you to the NEWBIES thread so don't worry about that.

    I gave you a link to baz417's profile (and his comments) and I gave you chapter & verse about edits to make the bundle your own tonight.

     So pinned threads at the top of this section but couldn't find the draft WS by baz417 - also the bit about what's vital for the hearing - is it too much info to copy/paste on here ?

    I can't.  It's a Dropbox link in his thread and the bundle contains images as exhibits.

    The link I gave you is better.  Takes you to his threads and comments.

    It is always better if posters navigate their own way round the forum; more and better learning is achieved that way. Clue: click on (any) @name to be taken to that poster's profile and from there you can see what threads have been started. Warning with this one, there are several Dropbox links so make sure you use the latest one.

    I asked him to delete the old versions so I think all baz417's WS links lead to the final one.

    WELL DONE, very nice to see BWLEGAL chicken out and discontinue

    You are right and play the game with this lot.

    Most court judges are very aware of the parking scam and the legals who get involved. There was a time it was probably an easy win for them as judges did not understand but now they do.  Not every judge mind you but most

    So for a legal, they employ and pay for a "rent by the hour" firm to which most are not up to par, meaning the chances now of a legal being spanked in court over a futile claim is high and then of course there are costs against them

    It really is not smart to bring a futile claim anymore. But the fools started the ball rolling so they have no option but to discontinue.

    As DCBL have found this out to their cost ..... 170 of them and growing

    I can't see it.

    Can you post an image here?

    One favour please, think of this as revenge for the crap they put you through:

    Please could you help us with OTHER car park evidence that I need in August & September, to take to the Government?

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6463361/dluhc-private-parking-code-government-launches-call-for-evidence-discussion-thread#latest

    Please please add photos as seen there!

    Think of this call for evidence when strolling around your town and you spot car parks at churches, shops & businesses that are unrestricted yet there is no abuse, no 'carmageddon'!

    OR supermarkets with £70 PCNs only.

    OR hospitals with £50 or £60 to deter abuse.

    All I need is photos and location.

    I will do the rest... just post photos for me...

    I can PROMISE this evidence will be seen by the decision-makers because I'm on the Code of Practice Government Steering Group representing motorists, and the DLUHC will read my submissions.
