Excel PPC PCN

wembley14

Hi 
I am at the stage of putting my defence against Excel/Elms Legal using my already registered MCOL system. I was wondering if i can use this updated template as a private hire driver being done for £120(was £60) for dropping off a customer in a no stopping area of a business park.  I have read all the newbie stickers and it states not to use template if you are a company. Does this include me as a little self employed Uber driver.?

If you were acting as an Uber Driver and the claim is addressed to you as an individual then yes, use the template defence even though the CRA 2015 doesn't apply to cases where the consumer was acting primarily as their work.  Let the PPC work that one out and leave it all in!

Dropping a customer at a business park where there are no compelling safety issues to allow 'no stopping' to be enforced (like it's an Airport) is obviously OK and not something for which an Uber should be penalised.

Which PPC, is it VCS?  Their sister firm, Excel, even thinks Ambulances are fair game.  This is their level:

Absolutely appalling.  Can they sink any lower?

Probably. Unfortunately the PoFA allows it at para 15, but Mr Trump when he visited would have been exempt.

Thanks for that CM, I will still use the template, just to clarify I am not to use the MCOL to send my defence and to only email it, is that right. I read this on here that the MCOL should be used for read only.?? 
The EXCEL PARKING COMPANY has photos of me dropping the client off in an empty layby but still dismissed my appeal to the PCN stating no one is exempt. Horrible scumbags.

Correct, send your defence by e-mail.  If you put anything, even a full stop, in the defence box on MCOL it is treated as your defence.

Excel or VCS?

Post your issue date from the claim form below , plus the date that the AOS online was done , your MCOL claim history will tell you , we can then give you your deadlines

Your defence pdf is emailed to the ccbcaq email address , not posted , not submitted on MCOL either , email only

If you were dropping off or picking up , then add the Jopson case into the mix

With a Claim Issue Date of 26th January, and having filed an Acknowledgment of Service in a timely manner, you have until 4pm on Monday 28th February 2022 to file your Defence.

That's three weeks away. Plenty of time to produce a Defence, but please don't leave it to the last minute.

To create a Defence, and then file a Defence by email, look at the second post in the NEWBIES thread.

Don't miss the deadline for filing a Defence.

Do not try and file a Defence via the MoneyClaimOnline website. Once an Acknowledgment of Service has been filed, the MCOL website should be treated as 'read only'.
