    Is that an offer ...... ?
    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.

    Excel parking witness statement background with wrong address and post code of car park and incorrect name which does not match alleged contract/agreement   
    You have left a registration number showing in para 7 of the witness statement.

    Hi Umkomaas,
    I'm not qualified.......I was just putting it out there as an idea.......as this seems to be some sort of fraud on a giant scale...........its akin to fleecing the general public?

    welcome to this murky underworld of private parking ......

    our MP' expressed there opinions over the last few years ... they passed a bill ... but have not published the practice and regulations ...

    a few of there words ..


    "The other area is hospital parking, and I want to single out one company for some pretty shady practices. That is ParkingEye"    
          " is very clear to me that there is collusion between parking companies and solicitors’ firms—so-called roboclaims companies. "
                "They are often set up adjacently and involve the same directors and personnel. Incidentally, the same personnel get involved in the so-called appeals bodies." 
            "Essentially, it is a money-making enterprise that takes advantage of motorists up and down the country. They operate in a very business-like fashion, which is why I call them roboclaims companies."         
          "The companies are jamming up parts of our legal system."           
        “I now pretty much know exactly how the parking companies and in particular the IPC have been running this scam for the past 5 years. Basically both of the appeals processes are a complete and utter sham, (and part of that sham is Gladstones Solicitors itself)”     
                   "The appeals process at Excel/VCS is run by a team of minimum wage office workers with no legal knowledge or experience whatsoever,"      
            " It is claimed by the head of the appeals service (retired Judge Bryn Holloway) that this is a completely independent fair process, it is not”         
      "The letter mentions two individuals—Will Hurley and Bryn Holloway—and concludes   this is a typical example of the clear collusion between the IPC, their members and the IAS"  
                      "what we can do about roboclaims companies and solicitors  firms that profit, often in shady ways"            
           " the very large amounts of money that can be involved in such scams—a company called Smart Parking was involved in one such scam on my patch"        
            "tightening up the rules regarding the unfair use of automatic number plate recognition"                  "BW Legal, regularly issues 10,000 county court judgments a month, and is known to have issued 28,000 in one month"       
              "They are jamming up our court system, and are often totally unjustified."        
     " because the lifeblood of trying to extort money from people is having access to their details."

    That's far too long but can be put right!  It's meant to be one page and this 'draft order' is a word document for the Judge to use for a quick strike out decision. 

    It's not your witness statement so the stuff suggested by Fruitcake is more for your WS.

    Have a look at the Draft Order just drawn up by @Leviathan747
