Claim Form - VCS / ELMS

Looks pretty marginal, so in my view (for what it's worth), you'd need pretty convincing and damning evidence to turn this into any kind of showstopping issue. The LA Highways department is the place to start any enquiries via a vis the status of that few yards of road. The angle of the ANPR cameras seems to target very little of it.

We recently had our Notice of Allocation, giving a hearing date of early September, and filing / serving dates of next week for Claimant, and the following week for Defendant.

To our surprise, today we received a Notice of Discontinuance.

Thank you to everyone whose help and advice gave us the confidence to fight this.

We'll keep an eye out for the consultation, when it comes.

Cheers!

WOW a hearing in September ... over 3 months away.   Either they could not wait for money or they knew they would lose anyway ...... Probably both ?

Best check with court to make sure what they say is true

Well done.

Perhaps they are changing their MO and just going for the low hanging fruit.

As you know there are going to be 1000's of rent arrears cases going through the county courts. All parking companies are going to wait months if not years
It is said that some 40,000 people due to covid, are in rent arrears, some estimate it is near one million

These parking companies will get a double whammy, covid first, the second being the courts over run with more important cases ........ parking claims are the bottom of the list


By the time it actually gets to court, the parking company could well have of gone bust ?

So A WARNING to parking companies ..... waste your money with a legal and wait a very long time. for a hearing and from what we see. you might have a 15-20% of winning ... MIGHT ? the scam no longer works

Coupon-mad

Yay, yet ANOTHER VCS ONE BITES THE DUST!

Just seen confirmation that Peel (landowners) requested the cancellation. Plan A, again!

Our email, passed to Excel 14 days later, and confirmed a further 14 days later. Of course, Excel have a "Client Cancellations" dept, or at least, person.

Thanks to @dav3 for info.

Eventually landowners will realise that they are spending more time and money than these "parking managers" are worth.

"Client Cancellations" dept

That made me laugh ..... more like a like a desk next to the coffee machine
