I've not ever heard of VCS bothering to enforce. I don't know if anyone else has.

Why would they go to the expense of getting a CCJ if they weren't going to enforce it? I read another thread where the guy had lost his case.

Go to the NEWBIE sticky on the first page of the forum, find post # 2 and scroll down until you see this: -

HAVE YOU FOUND OUT ABOUT A CCJ (JUDGMENT FOR CLAIMANT) AND NEED IT SET ASIDE?

Here's how - DO NOT ring the parking firm up...and do not just pay them:

And read this thread:

then keep reading and read the links. If you are in financial difficulties you may be eligible for help with fees.

You can start by answering the previous questions

Sorry, I missed that post whilst replying to another. I think I've answered them in another reply....

Well no because I still need to respond to the notice and life is complicated and things do mesh into each other. I still need advice on how to deal with VCS and their notice.

This forum deals with private parking invoices and can help (and could have helped) motorists up to and including court. Anything after the judgement has been made concerning financial advice is beyond the scope of a parking forum, and beyond the knowledge and ability of the majority of the few regulars who help here.

You may be able to make a claim against the PPC and landowner for a breach of the EA 2010, and you may be able to get advice on debt management, but not a huge amount on this parking forum.

My only suggestions are, try the debt forum, and contact Sheila at https://bailiffadviceonline.co.uk/. She posts on MSE as Herbie21, and has a good reputation.

I already checked out those sticky threads and they are all different scenarios, which is why I posted a new thread. Thanks though

Your questions now are beyond anything to do with parking.

This is worth repeating. I agree that the Debt Free board may be better. With a DRO there is probably no point in forking out for a set aside. They will know better on the Debt Free board though.

Cheers for taking the time to reply. Moral of the story is, it might look fake but deal with it anyway.

Anything threatening court claim/action has to be taken seriously and dealt with, even if it ultimately turns out to be fake.

Not since the days of Trev $hitehouse's ANPR Ltd have fake court claim forms been used - probably 5 years since.

For any newbie reading this who has a court claim from a PPC in their hands, it is 99.99% likely to be genuine. Do not ignore it!

I doubt this person has to pay court fees so setting a CCJ aside is a no brainer.

You should run this past your DRO intermediary as it shouldn't be an excluded debt. Some fines confirmed by a Magistrates Court are excluded by this one shouldn't be. But you have to be guided by your DRO intermediary.

If they say it can be included, and it should be, then the decision to go for a set-aside, if it is no cost to you, would simply be for the enjoyment of putting them through the hoops.
