UKPS LTD Particulars of Claim court action
I'm hoping it's right to start a new thread as I haven't found anything related to this stage of me challenging my PCN.

Luton Airport Drop Off forgot to pay within 24 hours...APCOA
I have just attempted to pay the drop off charge after my car was used for an airport drop off a few days ago, to be surprised to find it's too late to pay (ridiculous given the drop offs are usually in the early hours so easy to forget to do it instantly and pick up later in the week). I've tried calling to no avail, so…

Another one bites the dust... VCS lose again. But it may not be the end of the saga.
I've just got back from Court after round two with VCS. The judge said he would take an application to strike out as a preliminary matter so I said yes please. The judge struck out the claim because it failed to comply with CPR 16.4 (1)(a). Among his reasons were that the particulars of claim do not include a cause of…

On the parking charge received,…
