VCS defeated in Liverpool Court.: No keeper liability
It has not been a good week for Excel and their alter-ego VCS. We know of 4 cases lost just from posts on this forum... and this one which I was asked to lay-rep for, in Liverpool today, makes 5.

Been to court, won, but still more cases!
Hi all. I got a PCN for parking in my own space without a permit. I appealed and they rejected. I appealed to the IAS and they rejected again, then sent court stuff.

Hi all, I've received a PCN from Parking Eye at the Wye Valley Visitor Centre, on Easter Sunday. Both me and my son!

At no point did I realise…

Been to court today against Excel & BW Legal
I inputted the wrong reg number when I parked at Bryan House, Wigan about 2 years ago.

Good deed for the day
I've not posted here in a while but I do lurk from time to time. Today though I spotted a VCS ticket being placed on a car close to Gateshead College (car park across the street which serves 3 office buildings) so I left a little note directing the recipient here.
