Na she hasn't appealed. Just hid the letters from me. I couldn't have a go really and be a hypocrite.

Great. Mrs just advised me she got one a while ago and has kept it from me. She has only just told me because I just explained what I had to just pay because of my own stupity. So expect a thread real soon

OK thanks brass.

OK so if in future I get any kind of pcn by a private company what is the best thing to do.

Ah thanks. Only had my name so weren't too fussed. If there was more, much appreciated. Anyways...... I just rang and paid. A valuable lesson learnt here. Either ignore these from the off. And/or read all advice carefully and thoroughly making sure I understand.

Appreciate your honesty. But no need to be rude. It is all new to me. I mis read and mis understood what was needed to do with reading so many different dates flying around. I will suck it up and pay the total amount in the order to prevent cjj etc....

Just read the claim form and says I have 14 days to file for AOS. What a stupid I am. Hence why they sent a judgment to me as stats if I don't then it would be assumed I accept the courts jurisdiction and judgment would be served. I mis read steps above and thought I had till the 3/07 to apply for AOS. I am sorry. Just got so confused with it all. I think maybe my only option is to sign and send back the AOS and back date it in the hope that the understanding the post has been up in the air during this covid period

Maybe because a judgment has been made against on the 24/06 but was issued originally on 2/06. That's only 22 days. When I had till the 3/07 to reply. 33 days later. I'm soo confused now Did not send a 31:14 yet as thought it was something I had to do after as it was further down the list of things to do. Maybe bit of confusion there.

When I went onto the mcol site. This is what it broughte to. I couldn't see anything for AOS It did not give me an option to tick acknowledgment of service.

It won't let me click next until I state what order I am asking the court to make and why Am I not doing this right then? This is the page I am on Screenshot MCOL.pdf

No1. Do I just leave it blank and press continue then?

This is exactly what it says in the grey box on the right of it. Please state you are applying for "an Order to set Judgment aside" and summarise the reasons why you feel the Judgment should be set aside. If you are applying for something other than to set Judgment aside, you should not submit your application via Money Claim Online (MCOL) and you will need to complete a manual N244 instead. Please note, the Judge may set aside a Judgment where the defendant has a real prospect of successfully defending the claim; or it appears to the court that there is some other good reason why the judgment should be set aside or the defendant should be allowed to defend the claim. The Judgment will not be set aside on the basis that it has been paid, and / or to improve your credit - you must demonstrate to the Judge you have grounds to defend to the claim.

Hi there. I am just applying for "an order to set". It is asking me to give a reason. Do I just leave this blank and press continue??

Yeah you're right. Thanks

Ah good. To be fair the only fines/penalties I'd pay is from the council or police. In regards to private companies like this I just never knew what protocol had to be done and take place. Thank god for this forum. Everyone's been soo helpful.

OK. By experience and what you have seen in the past. Do I need to worry or.....?

Hi all. I have all relevant info as stated in post 10.here it goes: Name of claimant. Vehicle control services. Claimants solicitors, DCB legal Ltd. Date of issue, 02/12/19. Date for acknowledgement, I received this pcn on 18/12/19 Date to submit defence. Gave me 14 days to appeal. Any later all appeals would be discarded What's the claim for, Section 104, stopping to pick up/drop off in a restricted zone. What is the value of claim, Amount claimed-£166.63 Court fee-£25.00 Legal rep-£50.00 Total-£241.63. Please note. The photo evidence they supplied was 2 still images. 1 showing me stopping at a zebra crossing with me stepping out of my door. 2. Just a still of me in my vehicle. Also vcs are stating on the ccbc letter that I agreed to pay the fine but failed to do so. This is not true. I did not agree anything such.

Hello there. Don't know if this thread is still live. But regarding my current stance with the penalty I unfairly received. I was adamant I'm not paying it. I received a County Court business centre letter saying I must pay or respond in14days.this was 2nd June. I don't know whether to fill the dispute part or not. Also the description of offence has been changed and also they're now saying that I agreed to pay and failed to. Which is utter crap. Any help would be much appreciated

Pretty much yeah. Like I said. I replied through anger instead of just ignoring it. Shall I just ignore then or continue to dispute.

I am just at work atm. But will put the sticky response up when I get home. In the meantime I can't find my appeal to them. But I will upload their response. Southend Airport Post Code: SS2 6YF Contravention Date: 25/11/2019 We refer to your appeal in respect of the above Charge Notice (CN) received on 13/12/2019. Having considered the points you have raised and reviewed our records, we are unable to accept your appeal. Our main reason(s) for this decision are as follows: The signs at the crossing, clearly state "No Pick Up or Drop Off", giving clear notice that the land is private property and that a Charge of £100 will be levied if vehicles do stop. The above detailed vehicle picked up in a zone where both are prohibited and the driver became liable to pay that Charge. In your appeal you have confirmed to us that on the date in question, you stopped your vehicle on the access road, which is an area where stopping is not permitted. A review of our CCTV evidence has confirmed that on the date in question, your vehicle stopped to collect a passenger on the access road where restrictions apply. There are 87 high profile signs advising drivers not to stop and warning that if a driver does stop, a charge of £100 is payable. The signs exceed recognised industry standards, with some as large as 2m by 1.1m (6ft 6in by 3ft 7in) which clearly state "No Stopping" alongside the nationally recognised Highway Code symbol for a Clearway (No Stopping). Furthermore, the signage on the approach road is reflective and positioned to face oncoming vehicles and the text size used is relative to the average approach speed of a vehicle in relation to the speed limit in force at that location. We have fully reviewed this case and we are satisfied that the Charge Notice was correctly issued. We are unable to accept the mitigating circumstances raised in your representations, your appeal is therefore rejected and the Charge will stand; photographic evidence which supports this can be viewed at www.myparkingcharge.co.uk.

Hi there. New to this forum stuff. I also received a charge from vcs when I picked my mum up from Southend Airport and got hit with an initial £100 fine. With pictures of my car, and 1 of me outside my car with my door open. Not any of my mum near the car whatsoever. Out of anger I replied to them (appealed) stating that I had stopped because my car malfunctioned forcing me to stop and get out to check everything was alright. All of 20seconds of course. obviously avoiding causing an accident and injuring myself or others. The date of the incident was 25/11/19 and received the original fine around 3/4 weeks later. I have received today a letter asking for £160 now and being threatened of court and ccj. I have no intention whatsoever on paying these clowns but also don't want any ccj against my name. Can someone please be ever so kind as to what am I to do next. Reply stating lack of evedence etc or just ignore. Also sorry it doesn't say fine. I have a " letter before claim" Many thanks.
