    Very well done, another shining example, like in saggi's case and others, on how to get this scam set aside and your £255 back! Which court? Just wondering if it was one we know to be anti-PPC/defendant friendly?

    :D

    Thank you both.

    Forgive my ignorance, but how do I let the Prankster know?

    It was Reading County Court. The judge was very kind as I said and complimentary about my witness statement.

    Very pleased to hear it, and they are out of pocket by £255 to unpick their own scam!

    £255 is a mere trifle when set against the worry, the stress, the time. and sometimes the damage these ill founded CCJs can cause.

    If it happened to me, I would be furious and probably hire a QC and go for big bucks compo. IMO the PPC got off very lightly indeed.

    Even more galling TD is that the £255 is merely the repayment of what the OP had to first lay out to apply for the set-aside. This isn't an award for any damages/distress!

    And you'd fail to recover the brief fee you incurred on the basis that to do so was disproportionate to the matters in dispute.

    I am well aware of that Jonersh, but as I have said many times before, I put principal far above pounds shillings and pence.

    All parking tickets then. Sadly the SC wrongly thought it was OK.

    Now the scammers use the courts as a public toilet ?

    Tell me Johnersh, I understand you are are a solicitor ? How
