Can you post the details please, we know it's painful but what happened?

Which court and which Judge?

Did Mr Wilkes turn up for VCS? He didn't even have Rights of Audience...

HI everyone. Looking for some advice. I received a County Court Claim from VCS on the 3rd January 2020 saying that they are claiming £185 for a "breach of contract" which I a, unaware of as the date shown happened at the time I relocated from my previous address. In 3 years I haven't heard anything about this.
My wife, whos a bit clever with law lol has put together a defense satement and I am just wondering if anyone could offer any advice or additions?

Thanks in advance!

Defence Statement

I dispute the full amount claimed of £185.00 and give my defence below.
i) I did not receive a Notice to Keeper or Notice to Driver at my address detailing any breach of contract that vehicle YD05 FKE was in breach of advertised terms & conditions and I was therefore not aware of any charges being brought against me.

ii) As per the above, I would therefore not have had the opportunity to respond within the timeframe of 28 days to dispute any charges against me as per POFA Schedule 4, para 8 and therefore would not see this as failure to settle any outstanding liability.

iii) In September 2016, I relocated to Wigan. Since the 02/09/2016 I have not received any correspondence at my current address regarding any breach of contract until I received the County Court Claim form on the 3rd January 2020.


iv) I do not have any recollection of stopping on a roadway where stopping is prohibited, as is stated in the particulars of the claim. With this in mind, I am unaware of any signs displayed at the location related to in the particulars of the claim.

This therefore constitutes my defence regarding the breach of contract for breaching the terms and conditions set on private land and request that this charge is cancelled immediately. Should this not be cancelled I require further information relating to the claim in question:

1. Evidence of any Notice to Keeper and Notice to Driver stating the timeframes to reply to any charges.
2. Dated photographs of the signs that you say were onsite at the time which you contend a contract on the 2nd September 2016.
3. Photographs taken of this vehicle.

Over one hundred posts from many of the top regulars, yet can't fulfil the promise of an update - is it the case of take everything, give nothing back?

The OP has been back to the forum today, so has obviously seen the posts.
