    Great News on the win.

    Would anyone be willing to help with the claim against my company that has now gone to mediation...
    Why have you posted on someone else's thread, notwithstanding that you congratulated them in their win, you should post in your own thread (if you already have one open) or start your own thread and post full details.

    Hi @Le_Kirk,
    Thank you! over the moon about it. I am actually going to volunteer my time on helping others win cases for free like you all helpful people. Would have not won anything without you guys!

    There is an interesting point I learn from today's case. The Judge was a bit reluctant on awarding the schedule of costs and he mentioned something along the line that people often are abusing the schedule of costs. i.e. he thinks this has become a money-making scheme for both parties. I really had to put up an argument for this one. I know there are people out there offering to help with PPC claims for a fee.

    Yep, good if you can stick around because you can offer assistance and advice from a "been there, done it" point of view. Considering costs are limited and dictated by CPR I don't know how the judge was thinking it could be used as a money making scheme!

    Maybe I got the wrong impression. The judge didn't seem as friendly as Judge Shanti but rightly struck it out the case anyway. Didn't get a chance to push Jack Chapman's signature or the abuse of process £60.

    Well done @Amis95.

    It would be fantastic if you joined the fight. Of every 100 people we help to beat PPCs, whether at initial appeal, POPLA or court, just about nobody comes back to help anyone else. An extremely bitter-tasting, 'I'm alright Jack, pull up the ladder, I'm outta here' attitude.

    So much more needs to be done to rid the country of this scourge other than just getting off a ticket. There's fewer than a dozen people here fighting this on behalf of millions of motorists across the length and breadth of the country.

    Think about it, 7 million PPC tickets issued in the year, and no more than a handful of stalwarts plugging the dam. More helping hands would most certainly be welcome by us (if not by the PPC network!).

    Look forward to seeing you getting your revenge on VCS and other predators.
    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.

    Well done - I specially sought out your thread to check you did win this one!

    ANOTHER TWO BITE THE DUST!

    Stick around and post when you can and tell people to avoid the awful touts on websites and facebook saying they can do this for a fee, when in fact we are the experts and they are a mix of aggressive nasty gits who sue people (customers included...Jeez...and they boast about it) and an ex-PPC employee, among others.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Hi all, thank you for the lovely messages. I am sticking around now that I feel confident and determined. I have started reading some of the forums and must say it takes a lot to read and advise which only goes to show how much time and effort you guys spend. I met a guy at court who received dozens of CC Claims so he hired a guy from the private parking company paying him expenses and £50 + awards of costs by court which made me think, these people are already in trouble and you are making money of them makes you no different than the PPC.

    I am also doing my best to inform people not to pay, not to ignore and fight CC Claims though my networks.

    I will do my best :)

    so much love for you guys!!!!
  • I have read countless threads but that's my very first BOGOF :D
