Please help: Urgent advice needed

Tom,

You must go to the NEWBIES thread about LBC stage

Send VCS a SAR and a copy of the proof that his landlord actually owns the space and that it is excluded from enforcement on that basis, as the landlord has never agreed to vary his lease?

I have started writing the SAR using the legal beagles template. Is there anything else I should include in it other than what the NEWBIES thread suggests?

Also, what should I send specifically as proof? I have a copy of the lease for the space but I thought I shouldn't "show my hand" as it were at this stage?

Stick with what is said in the Newbies, written by professionals who know what they are talking about.

You need to let VCS know that you know more than they do

Can someone please check the following SAR to see if it is appropriate:

My landlord is refusing to give me written confirmation that I can use the parking space incase it goes to court and she gets into trouble.

There is a letting agent though, could they write three letter for me?

Tell could your landlord that she will be required to attend court as a witness if she doesn't provide you with the proof of ownership you need.

You could also obtain the necessary information about land ownership from the Land Registry for a few quid.

I already have a copy of the lease with her banner on it anyway. Does that mean I don't need a letter giving me permission to use the space?

It depends entirely on what it says about the parking space. If it is included in the wording of lease, and/or her ownership is shown on a Land Registry entry, then you have the proof you need.

If she hasn't given her permission to the scammers to operate a for profit business on her land, it is the PPC and the MA that will be in trouble if it goes to court, not her.

Right I could do with some help. I need to respond to the LBC I got from VCS as soon as possible.

I am going to tell them to cease and desist with their claim. Can someone help with the wording with this please? Also, I have a copy of the lease of the actual parking space that has my Landlord's name on it and it's obviously a long document. Shall I send a copy of the whole document? Or just relevant parts? Should I also send a copy of my tenancy agreement with my name and the name of the landlord on it?

Thanks

Ok so I have spoken to the property manager of the management company and he tells me the following:

"Thank you for your email, My response has not changed and whether I am called as a witness is not an issue. It is important to draw your attention that the shareholders of the RMC appointed the current directors (your landlord is a shareholder), the current directors requested their chosen managing agent to employ a parking enforcement company to enforce the parking regulations of the lease.

I will let the enforcement company of your thoughts but this is a matter for them and you, as a witness I will be very clear that the shareholders are in favour of the enforcement company and how it manages the car park."

Can anyone tell me if what he's saying has any legitimacy?
