    I have found this template, am I supposed to copy this and adjust to make it a bit more personal? 35 bullet points seems excessive for a parking charge.

    That link you provided goes to a witness statement but aren't you at defence stage? You have been given sound advice by @keithP and @Coupon-mad, that is what you should be following.

    You will be using our detailed Template Defence - see the top of the forum - which leaves you just ONE paragraph to tweak a tiny bit.

    This month I've even started giving people with DCB Legal claims a generic script for that paragraph 3 too! Leaving people literally ONE DATE to change, and your name & claim details added at the top.

    Signature and date at the end. Job done.

    It is twenty times easier than any appeals system. Done by email. No risk. No cost.

    No hearing because they discontinue.


    No solicitor nor law knowledge needed.

    Dead easy!

    Your case is the same as every single other DCB Legal claim on here. Read some more.

    We win or see discontinuations 99% of the time. No risk. We are glad you found us.

    I hate providing links to threads because it stops people seeing how to hop around and finding & reading threads for themselves. But in the spirit of the Season, here's one showing what to put for para 3:
    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/81139187/#Comment_81139187

    That shows you some 'deny the POC' wording to include in your para 3.

    And of course use the whole Template Defence but we don't want to be shown it ... please!

    Then follow the first 12 steps in the Template Defence thread so that you don't need to ask us (please...) about the DQ questions or the laughable Mediation phone call.

    We hope that we are only needed again by Defendants at WS & evidence stage next year. The 'first 12 steps' advice saves us all time.

    My signature tells you where to click.

    Read the NEWBIES thread second post, then - only after reading it - start a thread showing us the redacted POC like you see in every current claim thread (this one isn't recent).
