Case Dismissed - Vehicle Control Services
VCS continued there attempts to extort money out of me and thankfully failed yet again. However this time I would say it was not as easy and it was looking like I would lose the case right up until the end.

POPLA Annual Report 2024 finally released
https://www.popla.co.uk/reports So... why did it take them so long to release this one? Shocking that only 20% of assessed cases went in favour of the motorist and in particular, I noticed most people actually managed to LOSE their APCOA Airport appeals. Sad...
