    Could I also ask for clarification on what they classify as a roadway as the car wasn't stopped on a road?

    I don't think anyone here can clarify what they classify as a roadway. You need to remember that this is a totally unregulated industry and they make the rules up to suit themselves. If they decided your roof was a roadway, they'd issue you a ticket if you stopped on it.
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    I have received another letter from BW Legal. They have quoted an incorrect registration, number instead of a letter. They are also quoting the Elliot v Loake [1982] case. Can I go with something like the below to continue the letter tennis.

    Dear Sir / Madam

    Thank you for your letter dated the 25th August 2016.

    I would like to bring it to your attention that I have never been the registered keeper of a vehicle with the registration 1234567.

    Kind regards

    Squiggle.

    I need to get a response in the post tomorrow (Sunday) as I am going on holiday on Monday and may not have access to email.

    Any help is much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, anything to continue the email tennis, that doesn't tell them anything useful. Enjoy your holiday!

    I would pull their chain a little bit harder..

    You have referenced E V L. Do I take it that you will be presenting the court with forensic evidence in the form of blue paint specks? If so would you kindly send me a sample of them for my own forensic scientist to examine.

    Let them know that you are on to their scam.

    Or better still, "please be advise that my car is not Blue".

    Keep the ball in play, it costs them money.

    Dear sirs, I note that you will not be corresponding with me further.

    Be sure that, if this gets in front of a judge, your refusal to try to resolve this matter without going to court will be brought to his or her attention, and should I win , I shall be seeking costs under CPR27.14(2)(g), unreasonable behaviour.

    Got back from my holiday today to find County Court Claim papers.

    Will read through the stickies again and get my defence ready.

    The original PCN was for £60, however in the particulars of claim they say it is £100.

    Was the PCN originally £100 reduced to £60 if paid within 14 days?

    I agree with bod above

    the original pcn would have been £100 reduced to £60 for early payment

    you are focussing on the wrong things here

    as its a VCS no stopping case, its like the liverpool business park sc@m near JLA

    have a look at this similar thread about a different one , the advice will be similar or the same
