VCS residential money claim

Alster370

So it reads better as




8. The Defendant was repeatedly assured by the landlord that a permit would be issued promptly within the first few weeks of tenancy. Despite the landlord applying for the parking permit on the tenants’ behalf, the permit was not received from Inresidence until May the following year . The defendant argues that any alleged contract is void under the doctrines of promissory estoppel and frustration of contract by the Claimant's principal.
Or did you mean to replace the entire paragraph with just your suggestion?

Defence submitted, as It needs to be done by tomorrow. Unfortunately couldnt add in that last bit by Coupon-mad as I printed and signed the wrong version, so it is the version shown in post 30. Thank you to everyone who has pitched in so far, Il relax for now until the next correspondance, and Il make sure CCBC have marked it as recieved.

Ive filled in the Directions Questionaire, but I have a few questions:


Do I need to return the small insert about meditation, or can I leave that since I have chosen not to meditate?


Am I posting this plus a copy to the address listed on the N149A or do I send the copy directly to VCS/Excel?


Thank you.

Return your completed DQ to the CCBC in the same manner and to the same email address that you sent your Defence. Refer again to post #3 above if necessary.

Send a copy to the Claimant - address for documents to be sent is on your Claim Form.

Thanks KiethP, I will email it to CCBC. On the claim form under the " Address for sending document and payments" they have simply put VCS1754498, nothing is coming up when I search this. Should I just send it to their listed address on the claim form?


Also I fairly sure the time period for the data request has passed, and Ive recieved nothing, despite sending a follow up email. Another nail in their coffin?

Alster370

Have sent PDFs of the completed DQ to both CCBC as before, and to VCS by their only contact email. I may sent them a further copy by post. Il wait now for a court allocation date, last bit to do then will be the witness statement.

Hello all, back with an update.

So my court date is the 17th of October, not long now! Initially thought that VCS wouldnt bother to turn up but ive had their witness statement sent to me along with all the attachments they are going to use, shame they didnt comply with my data request when I asked for all that stuff.

I assume now I have to craft my own witness statement? Ive also attached their responses to my defence, so any thoughts welcome.

You should have been compiling a WS and costs schedule in line with the dates supplied by the court when they sent you the allocation letter.

Alster370

I agree, however I misplaced the letter, and ended up ringing the claims court to reconfirm the court date. Il ring again tomorrow to ask for the deadlines for the WS and cost schedule. Hopefully its no later than the 3rd (14 days before), I dont have much to add so expect the WS will be fairly straightforward.

One thing Ive picked out in their WS is the contract they have supplied as evidence. Its dated over a year after the initial CNs, so I assume the estate has changed hands. But cannot be used as evidence surely has this wasnt the contract that was in place at the time?

Check the worfong, ensure it doesn't refer to an earlier agreement. If not, if I was in your position i'd probably keep my powder dry, before making that point in the hearing.

If the PPC had disclosed the wrong one pre-action you could have asked for the right one. As it is they like to serve this stuff at the last with their statement, when each party in effect finalises the documents they present for trial. Their look out.

If they come without it, you can legitimately ask "that's now, but what about then?"
