VCS Case - Going to Court

Freystoke

Will do, have just pm'd them.

Since you have already submitted your defence it is too late but just to note that you have used an out of date statement of truth.  Look up the latest one for your witness statement.

Thanks, I have updated Witness Statement to current wording.
Would anyone be able to direct me to a thread which details complaint to the Landowner to get a draft template letter or similar?

Le_Kirk

Just use your own words for complaining.  Since there are so many different types of car park and landowner it would be impossible to write a template that would cover them all.  Besides, a letter of complaint written from the heart is likely to have far more impact than any template ever can.

You have the same broken forum search that we do , they are in some threads , but won't be easy to find , for you or us

Bear in mind there is a sticky thread announcement containing successful complaints , so I bet you haven't looked in there , but writing your own is best

As above, best to write your own. But don't make it War and Peace* ... keep it sharp and to-the-point. Use a bullet list to make the complaint clear and easy to understand.

* Long and rambling complaints will get put in the circular file.

Edit: to be clear, I'm talking about the complaint, not the Witness Statement ... there's already a "template" approach for a WS.

Freystoke

Thanks for the advice above. Defence now edited/redacted.

As for a WS, look at the example posted on the thread by @jrhys which includes the transcript from Excel v Wilkinson as an exhibit, to explain why a parking firm can't add sums to inflate an already almost doubled parking charge that must already include all the costs.
