Did you get an auto-receipt email telling you that your defence has been received?

I got an auto-receipt saying my email had been received, it didn’t say “defence”

If your email contained your defence, which it should have done, then receipt of your email means your defence has been received.

Good work Jerm9218, I am also compiling my defence against Highview so would be interested to know the outcomes at each stage. I did have a query though, you said you received the PCN in 2016, thats over 5 years ago; I was under the impression that after 5 years the PPC could no longer be claiming anything? I'm sure an expert will put me right if thats not the case.

In England and Wales they must start a claim within six years.
In Scotland that limit is five years.

Yes it will be six years in August. I imagine they churn a load out just before the deadline in a last ditch attempt at getting people to panic pay.

Hi everyone, a question - if the company were to decide to drop the case before going to court, when would I be likely to hear about this? Could it just be any time they fancy?

Coupon-mad

Yep, usually after seeing your WS.

Hello all, 
I have now received my letter with court date, which is the beginning of November. So knuckling down to get the witness statement put together. I'll be honest, I feel a bit overwhelmed by it all but trying to research now, so any relevant/up to date pointers would be appreciated too. 
Thanks all

and someone else I can't remember.

Check out discussions they've started - they all have good examples of witness statements that you can use as the basis for yours in terms of content and style. (Obviously you don't just copy/paste - your WS must present the facts relevant for your case).

Thank you @Jenni_D I will take a look at those
