I am being taken to court for an 'unpaid invoice'; don't want to pay it all because the service provider made it impossible for me to actually use the services I am being invoiced (I've offered payment pro rata for the services I did use). Am quite desperate to know more as my chief witness will be out of the country in 2 days' time. They're willing to submit a statement though. I don't know whether it needs to be signed by a solicitor to qualify as valid evidence. Don't qualify for legal aid as my partner owns his house, but am too poor to visit a solicitor. Have tried CAB and telephone helplines to no avail.

So long as the statement is signed by that person then I can't see any reason why you need involve a solicitor, a seperate independant witness may be adviseable though (non-friend and non-relative). If you explain your situation to the courts in a reasonable, co-operative manor you should be fine.

Just present yourself in the court and argue your case for not paying
