VCS - LJLA 2 Fines

Prem22

Hello all, after some advice as I am stumped what to do here. I’ve just started to read the forum posts regarding VCS & see there is a lot of great advice so I’ll be reading through that as I plan to appeal the fines..I have already submitted my appeal under medical emergency.. I’ll explain more below.

I received 2 difference Charge Notices for stopping where I wasn’t meant to. This happened on 29/08/23. Both CNs are separated by only 5 minutes.. and I think I moved about 10 yards down the road & somehow managed to get 2 CNs. I am from
the area and didn’t know I couldn’t stop where I stopped. I was picking my disabled parents up but I had been suffering from illness them few days and I pulled over as I felt like I was going to be sick. I pulled over on a no stopping zone to speak to a police officer and ask him about a toilet who told me it was in the airport. I ended up vomiting a little at the side of the road. 

I then picked up my parents and left. I was there total about 7 minutes but stopped to speak to a police officer.

Frankly I’m terrified as I am applying for a mortgage in the next 6/12 months and a CCJ is the last thing I need. But for now, what sort of defence do I have to beat these shower of crooks! Thank you in advance.

Irrational. You can't get one of those unless you seriously foul up by not following this forum's advice and/or not responding to a court claim, or ignoring a judge's cost order in due time.  Get that out of your head, and do some research on the circumstances under which a CCJ can affect you financially - the internet is awash with sound advice and guidance.

But for now, what sort of defence do I have to beat these shower of crooks!

You don't need one of those unless/until VCS file a court claim. Meantime, just use the blue text template initial appeal from the NEWBIES FAQ Announcement, first post - it won't succeed - so you then see where this progresses beyond. Don't bother with the IAS second stage appeal - totally biased towards their PPC membership, you have no chance there.  If it comes to it, let a judge decide.

Complain to the Airport. They can cancel these.  Not only were you ill but they issued two PCNs.

Outrageous "extortion" (DLUHC's word, 2022).
