ajplag

any help or advice on my defence would be much appreciated

bumping this to the top of the tree, hopefully someone can offer some advice?

I assume that I should attach all pictures to this part of the claim or in the witness statement?

No attachments, no photos yet. Evidence comes later with your WS.

Also that i still have time to submit in the next 48 hours based on below timescales?

Yes - just - but you should email the defence today IMHO.

The defence appears to cover the bases you need. I would add that it is believed that Jake Burgess is not an employee of VCS, as claimed, and is not a person with any personal knowledge of the site or circumstances or facts of the case.

Submitted through MCOL however there was an error so the text couldn't be sent. I have emailed the court with the ticket error reference that was generated along with a word doc version of my defence. I assume that this will be accepted as there is no other means other than letter which will arrive out of the allocated AOS time slot.

I have also emailed VCS with a copy of this exact defence.

I'll keep you posted on next steps

We didn't say to submit the defence by MCOL. The NEWBIES thread post #2 tells you not to because it removes all the formatting so it reads atrociously even if MCOL works.

You didn't have to email it to VCS.

Glad to hear you emailed it to the CCBC email addy - you used the right one as discussed on umpteen hundred threads?

apologies for not following completely

it was originally emailed to the customer services address on the ticket, but the auto response pointed me to cbcaq at hmcts.gsi.gov.uk address and I emailed them. Should I be covering my tracks with anyone else?

An extra 'c' - was your version above a typo?

ccbcaq@hmcts.gsi.gov.uk

Claim number and the word 'DEFENCE' in the Subject line of course.

ajplag

yeah that was a typo, submitted with the correct subject line

Morning all,


This progressing along nicely. VCS have until the 31st August to pay the court fee and we have a court date set for the 29th September.


A quick discussion point to add. VCS no longer issue fines on this site with their documentation, these are now down by myparkingcharge . co . uk > Another subsidiary of Excel which VCS will also sit under?


Does this bear mentioning in my defence at all? I'm unsure if this has any standing in my case but is worth highlighting to the judge the tactics that are being used?




Thanks,


ajplag

Personally, I don't think it's material and adds anything. A bit of a red herring. See if others concur - or have a different view.
