    I never really understood what one of those was.  In the matter of civil law there are bound to be some grey areas.

    I have been an advocate of the Court for 11 years now dealing with mortgage repossession, landlord & tenant, charging orders and small claims parking matters.

Therefore, your statement is factually incorrect.
    We don't doubt that, Snake is talking about one thing ..... claims from a parking company.  ??

    I don't think anyone here is interested in your other work

    Jake then answer this why do you never discuss the cases that you lose ? you seem to only pop on threads like this
    I have had this conversation with another forumite. 
    That means nothing whatsoever ... two people in the same industry having a chit chat

    What JB says is correct, he does show his face at some hearings and has travelled some distance to some hearings.  I have seen him in action myself.  I do not for one minute agree with his companies practices or actions BUT i can confirm he does do hearings but if you look at court serve listings given the large number from VCS/Excel on a weekly basis this is going to be a small %
    this is the same for any firm which litigates in this volumes
    I dont comment on his advocacy but i believe Bargepole rates him in court.
    there are only a few firms who attend most of their own hearings and that is Devere /AS (Alliance ) Parking / SIP (but they are low volume and tend to be one geographic area)

    @JB11. I have not seen any cases reported on here where you were representing VCS or Excel. There are numerous cases regarding claims in Sheffield which we see on a regular basis where your company is represented by Elms or similar @ around £125.00 plus VAT per hour They usually lose.

    Do you cherry pick the ones that you are likely to win? I would not blame you if you did as we have all done a bit of cherry picking in our time one way or another.

    Who on earth cares what JB does for the rest of his day job ?
    We are only interested in JB/VCS/EXCEL .... THE REST IS POINTLESS

    "I don't comment on his advocacy but I believe Bargepole rates him in court."

    I once had a boss who always used to say "never scrat with turkeys when you can fly with eagles".

    In other words why work for a company like Excel/VCS?

    I have had this conversation with another forumite. I am happy to do so moving forward. The purpose of my comments are to add constructive dialogue. If forumites are respectful then I will gladly answer/assist as and when I can. I am in no way 'gloating' as many people suggest. I am just merely making a factual correction. Unfortunately, DDJ Harvey was found to be bias and as such some of his orders are in the process of being overturned.
    I think people on here should be constructive and open in their discussions, there is nothing to be gained from shouting "boo" "hiss" at people on the other side.  This does not mean we like what they do (i certainly dont)

    Trouble is BT, it is them who come here with propaganda
