So I had my hearing this morning and the district judge called saying VCS failed to provide their contact number for the hearing therefore the case is struck out. Whoop whoop. Can’t believe they didn’t provide a contact number considering they sent a letter a few days ago saying they had a strong case, just show how much they scare people and I can see why most people would give in and pay up as the idea of going to court is terrifying.
He said I should receive a letter in a few weeks to confirm and I need to do nothing.Nothing was mentioned about my assessment of cost as that was an after thought as I was so happy that it’s was struck out? Does anyone know anything about this and where I stand?
So glad this is over and a massive THANK YOU for everyone’s help and advice 💚
Brilliant ...... VCS scuppered themselves ...... amazing incompetence3 -

You could email the judge to belatedly ask for them to be considered , but should have done so on the call !!!
Well done anyway
VCS , another one bites the dust !!
thanks again 🙏🏼

There seem to be a number of cases where no telephone number is furnished to the court for a telephone hearing. I think it's deliberate because either the PPC doesn't wish to expose one of their staff to examination by the Judge or they aren't prepared to pay a rent-a-mouth advocate £120+ to take a phone call, especially with a weak case in tow.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.
