VCS parking in restricted area & claim from from CCBC

upstanding

Hi hoping you can point me in right direction. Have received claim form from CCBC Northampton in relation to 'fine' from 2015 issued by VCS. Have completed AOS (papers issued 21.6).Did not receive anything other than a demand for payment letter some nearly 3 months later which we did not respond to followed by other several demands for payment.
Is it too late to submit SAR to VCS now for any evidence they claim to have ?- states parked in restricted area of car park - but car was parked on road outside of car park along with several others, who parked there on daily basis as no parking restrictions in place. Or should I just try to compile defence. Have been reading newbies thread many times over last week but unsure as to specific details we need to put due to their claim of restricted area? Any advice gratefully appreciated, thanks

Is that the Issue Date on your Claim Form? Please confirm.

If so...

With a Claim Issue Date of 21st June, and having done the Acknowledgement of Service in a timely manner, you have until 4pm on Wednesday 24th July 2019 to file your Defence.

That's over two weeks away. Loads of time to produce a Defence, but please don't leave it to the last minute.


When you are happy with the content, your Defence should be filed via email as suggested here:

Print your Defence.
1. Sign it and date it.
   
2. Scan the signed document back in and save it as a pdf.
   
3. Send that pdf as an email attachment to CCBCAQ@Justice.gov.uk
   
4. Just put the claim number and the word Defence in the email title, and in the body of the email something like 'Please find my Defence attached'.
   
5. Log into MCOL after a few days to see if the Claim is marked "defence received". If not chase the CCBC until it is.
   
6. Do not be surprised to receive an early copy of the Claimant's Directions Questionnaire, they are just trying to keep you under pressure.
   
7. Wait for your DQ from the CCBC, or download one from the internet, and then re-read post #2 of the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread to find out exactly what to do with it.

It is never too late to send a SAR to the parking company.

You need to SAR VCS for the info they hold on you

In the VCS claim, have they added on a fake £60 ???

If so, read this

Hi, issue date of papers was 21.6 - . I since came across post on forum looking at trespass - there was a sign beside car park that said no parking at any time so wondering if defence could also go along the lines of no contract had been entered into etc.

You are correct, yes they have added that on along with proposed court fee. I will take a look at link you kindly suggested.

A claim should be like this

£100 parking charge
£25 court fee
legal costs £50

Anything above that is abuse of process. It's not just us saying this, read what the judges have said.

Your job is to get this claim dismissed for Abuse of process and that's the end of their claim

That's Interesting Beamerguy because they have left the legal costs as 0.00!

care to show us, redacting personal info and uploading to a free hosting site ...... use hxxp on here because as yet you cannot post links

upstanding

Of course only not very savvy with how to do this i'm afraid - you suggest hxxp - can you elaborate please?

Redx

host the redacted form picture over on tinypic or imgur

copy the URL from the picture as a link

paste it below, but change the http to hxxp , replacing the tt with xx so we can see it

Thank you to you all - I will attempt to do this - if not successful Im hoping another family member can attempt to do it for me sometime later this evening, so will keep you posted.
