Lt20

Yes -A win is a win but I could never have done it without the help of everyone on here so a massive thank you 😊 
I’ve heard from the court today in writing that it was dismissed.... so now I believe it hurrah 👏🏻

Hi
update on This case which was listed for 24/07/20. I just rang the court to confirm the listing (they’d previously told me to do this a few days before as some are being removed from listing)
I found out that the date of the hearing had changed to last Friday and yet again I hadnt received notification of this from Derby combined court. 

Fortunately the listing officer I spoke to was sat in on that hearing and told me the DDJ had raised concerns as VCS witness statement was factually incorrect, apparently their counsel agreed there were numerous mistakes in the statement and Case was dismissed.

I was very upset at the initial part of the call when I realised I could potentially have a ccj I then needed to get set aside. Then he recall just one case last week where it was dismissed..... and luckily it was my case. 

They confirmed they had all my statement and evidence and although I’m not trusting the outcome until I see it in writing id like to think the inaccuracies i raised in my statement had an effect on the outcome.

Wow, did you achieve that without even submitting a witness statement and evidence?

Your lucky day...!  WELL DONE.

The brains behind the VCS outfit being Renshaw-smith probably threw all his toys out of his pram again .... no worries, he can replace them from E-bay ready for the next time ... not sure if E-bay have enough stock ....... for the future of VCS that is ??

No I submitted both of these prior to the unnotified and brought forward court date (luckily) 
I like to think my statement pointing out their inaccuracies helped the judges decision 😊

Well done. That is now off your back. You can celebrate.

"Fortunately the listing officer I spoke to was sat in on that hearing and told me the DDJ had raised concerns as VCS witness statement was factually incorrect, apparently their counsel agreed there were numerous mistakes in the statement and Case was dismissed."

They are getting more and more sloppy.  No shows, losing documents, not answering telephones. It's like they have a death wish. 

What with the cheesecake left in the fridge for days at his hotel SRS needs to get a grip.

Have I missed something, or is it too cryptic for me? 😮

SRS owns this pub. 

I live in Staffordshire but have a flat in Buxton. I shall not be paying a visit to Ye Olde Nags Head in Castleton. 

I think that there has also been some issues about allegedly underpaying a chef, staff issues and the theft of cash by a CCTV installer.
