    A lot of UK companues are struggling, but to say VCS are and need help is nothing more than crocodile tears from Simon Renshaw Smith.
    On the subject of tears, non will be shed if the likes of VCS did go under and with it Excell, the IPC/IAS and the whole sorry lot

    Why are you offering to pay anything? Defend this in court - it will cost VCS far more to take you to court than they will get from the process.

    This OP is in Germany, outside the E&W courts' jurisdiction without using the EU version of the small claims track (we're still bound by it until we leave), but that will be more expensive for the PPC and their cheapo solicitors.

    Good!  We did tell you NOT TO OFFER ANY MONEY:
    OK, in your case in Germany that little chat is a chance to tell the Claimant that you will not be paying anything, are not liable and live in Germany as your permanent residence and that they must erase all other addresses from their databank.
    DO NOT let the Mediator push you into making an offer. 

    You made an offer - why?  You know it's not a debt, right?
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
