    Study other recent WS , plus the latest wins listed in the discontinuations thread by Umkomaas,  plus other recent concluded cases, try using the search option with suitable keywords etc

    There is a lot more to a WS than a short story anecdote, including adding suitable Exhibits and your Costs Assessment etc

    I know I'm being an absolute moron here, but I've searched and still can't find any WS examples/guidance other than people saying to search using keywords (which I've tried), filtering to "newest" etc.

    The guidance is in the NEWBIES thread along with a list of recommended exhibits.

    You should find examples if you search for

    Witness Statement true

    and change the results order to NEWEST.

    Morning all. Well, I'm pleased to say I didn't need to submit a WS as DCB Legal/Euro Car Parks have discontinued this morning. I will post N279 when I get it printed :-)

    Thanks to all of your advice and practical help. It has been invaluable. 3 and a half years of this rubbish but I've WON!!
    Yay - well done!

    ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!

    No need to print.

    Take a screenshot then post the N279 here (cover your data). Please show it and please complete the vital Public Consultation:

    My Notifications continue to be very flaky and I didn't get one in your nudge @Gr1pr. The one from @Coupon-mad did register. So let's sort this out now. 

    Thank you @HairyPrincess for the copy of your NoD. I can now get this counted in the DCBL Legal thread of shame. 👍 
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    We will discuss this more over the coming weeks but IMHO the two vital policy matters are:

    - to BAN debt recovery fees completely, making the industry pay for the dubious they 'service' of third party letters (or keep cases in house and follow the pre-action phase themselves, like several PPCs already do)

    - to bring in a new and independent Single Appeals Service (funded by the industry) to replace POPLA and especially the IAS which MUST be banned.
