    Just read a few threads where people have been through a hearing.  Search the forum for "another one bites the dust" and that will find all the recently won cases.

    But the standard case references trotted out by VCS are nothing new (nothing ever is in PPC World) and have been done to death already on here.

    Search the forum for a surname from a case and read & learn.  Vine v Waltham Forest being misquoted again, I expect.  Chaplair v Kumari?  Yawn.  
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    In most cases it's not over because the original claim comes back into play , which is why the judge won't discuss it

    Email your details to litigation at VCS for payment

    Without reading the whole gigantic thread , I would assume that VCS can continue with the original court claim for the PCN

    Did the judge not mention that or give deadlines for documents etc ? No hearing scheduled ? What ?

    If the original claim was paid by you , then as you agreed to that settlement you would expect that it's over

    @Redx no but I have already paid the PCN does that not make a difference? 

    The only deadline given was for VCS to pay costs within 21 days, all the emails I have sent them previously have been ignored, should I wait for them to get in touch or will they not and what happens if they do not pay within the 21 days?

    If it's paid , it's settled , or should be

    If VCS don't send a cheque or pay a bank transfer by the 21 day deadline , you would have to give them a written warning with say 7 days notice and payment options , after that it's enforcement !!

    If the PPC do not pay set DCBL on them.  Or consider a claim,
