  • Thanks again for all the advice everyone, the letters in the post...
  • You're in the exact same boat as me, almost to the day!

    check out my posts on another forum (it wont let me post a link) its the fightback forum, private parking tickets under the title 'hunted down'
  • Haha...yes I've seen your posts already!

    My response went yesterday so I'll see if they reply and will post up here.

    Good Luck!
  • I posted mine on Tuesday, not heard anything yet, but I'll keep you posted if I do!
  • Surly if this is over 6 years old and no contact has been made then its Status Barred?

    the incident happened 19/11/2010 , today is 20/11/2016 so any further letters from VCS or B+W should now be complained about seriously ,

    They can badger forever if they wish, it's action at the county court that is subject to a 6 year statutory limit.
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    true , and they can get a dog turd in the reply envelope as well

    badger yes , however to hint or threaten court action would be laughed* at by the SRA

    *was going to say frowned , but on second thoughts

  • Still nothing in the post - so am i to assume that nothing else can be done. And if I do get anymore correspondence I should ignore it or send them a final "its over 6 years so FRO" letter?

    Yes indeed and look at Mahone1302's letter he has just shown on his thread today:

    Could form the basis of you claiming for £750 compensation (seriously). The Parking Prankster has posted about this too.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
