Thank you @Coupon-mad for the comments..I shall get some one to do a proof reading and also review the the points mentioned above. Anything else which I need to add in the points or as evidence you think?

I would have thought that CM would have indicated that already.  Why do you ask?

I just wanted to re-confirm as you all are more experienced and master in fighting these scammers than me

Had a question. Is it ok if I send the witness statement as email to both court and CEL? Is it necessary that we should send hard copies? I did call the court office and they have provided me an email Id as well. Kindly let me know your suggestion..

Due to COVID, everything is being done by email and you can search the forum for CEL's email.  It's fine to do it that way at the moment.

Hi All..hope you are all doing good. Just wanted to keep you updated that I have not heard back anything yet for the hearing date.

OK, good.  Check with the Court that the PPC hasn't in fact discontinued and not told you (very common).

AND - please now make a real difference - A TASK FOR SEPTEMBER.

The Government is (this month only) consulting about a new statutory code of practice (CoP) and framework to rein in the rogue parking firms.  Read and comment on the draft CoP proposal and the enforcement framework consultation, and get everyone you know to do the same.

You will need to register to comment on the CoP and enter an occupation even if you are retired or a homemaker, but otherwise it is easy to navigate, and comment upon each section/subsection individually. You can save comments to edit later and or submit comments once you are happy with them.

You do not need to register to comment on the enforcement framework which can be found here. It has a link on page 5 to make comments.

Please be heard.  You can bet the hundreds of PPCs will be commenting.

No apologies for repeating this vital 'call for action' to consumers, on every thread this month!

Hi All,
I have got the letter from the court today that my hearing would be on 13 Nov and it would be held via video conferencing. Would appreciate on any inputs on how to go on with this hearing as to what I should prepare and present etc.

Thank you

Read the thread by @Old_Bird_65 about the CVP hearing v CEL that I reported back on.
