    Thanks @Coupon-mad

    Also is it ok to electronically sign the form before emailing? Or must I print sign and scan ? Thanks again.

    Electronic signing is accepted.  Or you could sign a piece of white paper, photograph it and place it on the document before submitting it.

    Are you using the exemplar witness statement by @aphex007 for format and style?

    Another update, email received today and a voicemail from DCB legal with their usual shithousery tactics trying to get me to settle the claim at a reduced fee of just £180! I think I will continue with the court case and getting my WS prepared! The original claim amount was £248.52 I’m guessing the extra £27 is the 8% interest!?

    £27 is the hearing fee - have they even paid it yet. or are they exaggerating to make their 'kind offer' look better?

    Let them stew. 
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    @Coupon-mad I very doubt they have paid the hearing fee already! Just trying their luck, usual tactics.

    I have completed the first draft of my WS, would it be possible to have a check over it to see if suitable for my court case!

    Many thanks
