Hey people,

So 5 years ago I received an unfair ticket from VCS. I found this forum at the time and used all the incredibly useful info you guys have gathered over the years to help me fight it. For the first couple of years there was just a general to and fro with them threatening me with BW legal and the likes, but then it went quiet and I figured it had gone away.

Anyway 2 months ago I got my letter from the courts confirming they had officially instigated t claim via the small claims. I followed all your instructions and posted my defence bundle off on Monday, and today have received confirmation that it has been 'struck out as an abuse of power'.

I'm absolutely delighted and this is actually the second unfair ticket that I've now successfully challenged and won and it wouldn't have been possible without this forum and the incredible amount of info you guys have collated in helping fight these scum bags. I hope this gives some hope to others that are currently fighting them!

    Well done, nice outcome. 

    @beamerguy - is this the case you referred to earlier?
    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.

    yeh I would expect nothing less of them tbh given their dirty tactics throughout. I'm more than happy to go and defend myself in court if need be.
