twhitehousescat

often used by regional press who cannot afford camera men , I was under the impression they had to inc the google info at base of pics showing that it was google property + its date stamp

PS , there are 2 cases vcs/jla at court stage (one papers issued) at pepipoo , the one case with papers has gone off board to prep defence

Ok, have now had the 40% discount letter, without prejudice.
The first 40% discount was for £114 but this one is for £92.
From reading the forums I think there have been a load of these sent out recently. When I reply I will send a copy to those MPs who discussed this problem in Parliament on 2nd February, LJLAs local MP, bw's local MP and my own MP. Probably even worth sending it to The Yorkshire Evening Post.
What puzzles me is that they seem to be targeting people who received these invoices before POFA came into effect. If these people haven't paid by now why on Earth would they cough up now?

the chances are that they will have moved house and vcs/bw can go for a huge cost ccj for a simple outlay of £25 , hoping that in 3-6 mth people will pay them the huge figure to get ot marked as satisfied

this action is TOTALLY wrong and should be stopped ASAP

This is now a few weeks after the 6 years anniversary of actual event and I have received another robo letter. It is possible they are looking for a last chance to see if I have moved.
I have looked for information on the 6 years after the event, statute barred situation. There seem to be different opinions on whether the 6 years is from the date of the event, the date of the invoice or the date of the invoice plus the 14 days allowed to pay.
Can anyone point me to an answer?

Read this, especially the drop down box 'When does the limitation period start running'

You will also get a pop up dialogue box appear so that you can have a live webchat with an expert. Far better to ask someone with direct knowledge about an Act of Parliament than those whose direct expertise is in fighting private parking tickets.

as above get info from experts

however :

VCS use ANPR = 14 days to invoke POFa , but does Pofa apply or not thats the question

if the land comes under bylaws or RTA then tickets should not be issued , therefore in my views , the "invoice" could only have been sent out within 14 days , and the clock would start ticking from the date of the invoice

Well they weren't absolutely sure but did send this,

"So yes that could potentially have become statute barred (which might mean you don't have to pay). The 6 years time limit to take court action would begin from when the initial time period in which you have to pay had run out."

So in this case that is 14 days from the date of the invoice. But like I said they weren't sure. The conversation was cut short. They probably feel there are more deserving chats they could be having. It is a National Debtline.

It's 6 years from the date on which the cause of action accrued for both Tort (section 2) and Contract (section 5):-https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1980/58

"six years from the date on which the cause of action accrued."
Does that mean 6 years from the event? (Sorry I don't find legal speak as easy as English.)

IANAL but I would say that if they slapped a ticket on a car demanding payment that is when it starts.

Alternatively if it came through the post it seems logical that the date it's received is when the clock starts.

Either way it isn't your job to prove it. If you assert it is statute barred it is their job to prove it isn't.
