Thanks TFT, much appreciated. Although Law Answers hustled me i think I probably got my £37 worth in fairness they gave me enough confidence to stick it out and so I guess they really saved me £43 overall. Will add to forum again if I receive any further nonsense from VCS but will take your advice and will not contact them again. Cheers.

Hi, I am new to this site and am very grateful that I found it some time ago. I was given a PCN from VCS (aka Vermin & C..k S..kers) after paying for a ticket which subsequently got wet and slipped off the windscreen during the day (the bast..ds probably hit the windscreen until it fell off in my view). Went thru the appeal process which I had been warned by a colleague was a waste of time and sure enough they sent letter saying I had to pay £80. I signed up to law answers and paid £37 for their services and initially they were great. They corresponded pretty well and even wrote letters to VCN on my behalf. However, recently there has been nothing from them and web site is down. Conrad Murray was the key solicitor I understand and I found him on a networking site but he has not had the decency to respond to my question "Why did you take my money and then desert my case ?" -- outrageous. A solicitor offers a service to protect you against a [problem] and then bu..ers off with your money . anyway, after about a year I have now received the solicitors letter from the firm that rhymes with shi.e and frankly they can pi.. off. Will be ignoring all correspondence and if they do take me to court I will gladly produce the ticket that I purchased on the day in question and fight my case accordingly... bit bored with my day job anyway at the mo so may as well have a day at the courts.. has anyone actually been taken to court by this lot of crooks ? Just a thought but i bet VCN are reading this forum and gathering info to make their next move.. if you are reading this then you can go f... yourselves....
