Hello, I hope I am doing this correctly. Back in december 2019 my car broke down twice within 150 yards on the service road at Southend Airport. I had been having intermittent issues with the car during the week prior to this. On the day in question when the car first came to a stop on the service road the driver, aware of the issues, attempted and just managed to get the car restarted after a 5 minute pause for the battery to recuperate. It was during this stop that the car was photographed by the VCS patrol vehicle. The driver then proceeded to attempt to leave the service road but the car ground to a halt approx 150 yards further along the road. At this point the driver lifted the bonnet to began the process of changing the battery for a fully charged one kept in the boot since the issues began. At this time the patrol driver approached and asked what was going on. The driver explained the problems encountered with the car and the patrol driver told him "no problem, I'll tell them what's happened". The battery was duly changed, the car started and driven off the service road. It was identified the following weekend that the issue was caused by a fault with the alternator which was replaced, no problems since. I have since received the usual letters from VCS and their representatives right up to a Court Claim form. I have been suffering from an appalling case of Covid infection but managed to get in front of my PC to acknowledge service in time. My issue date was 16th December 2019 so I believe I have until 4pm on Tuesday 19th of January 2021 to file defence. I know it is now late but please believe me I have been desperately hoping to get well enough to respond to this properly but am now typing out of desperation as time runs out. I did manage to read plenty of cases on different forums early on in the process and would like to ask a question if anyone could help please. I notice that on another forum (MSE) they advise going for massively long defences with loads of case law examples whilst on here the recommendation seems to be for almost minimalist defences of maybe 5 or 6 bullet points of only a couple of sentences each. Could I ask what is the perceived benefit of each type of response and why, in particular, do CAG members prefer the short version? At the start of this saga I was quite bullish about prospects but, perhaps because I am now feeling so low, I am becoming less so even though I am sure that breaking down on a public highway cannot be prosecuted by this cowboy outfit. VCS are aware that I am the registered keeper of the car but do not know who was driving on the day concerned. Any assistance, albeit at this very late stage, would be appreciated Thank you salackdad

Post in Court Claim Against Hermes - item sent via Packlink was lost/tampered with **WON**
jj58 posted a post in a topic,
Hi @BankFodder
Sorry for only updating you now, but after your guidance with submitting the claim it was pretty straight forward and I didn't want to unnecessarily waste your time. Especially with this guide you wrote here, so many thanks for that
So I issued the claim on day 15 and they requested more time to respond.
They took until the last day to respond and denied the claim, unsurprisingly saying my contract was with Packlink and not with them.
I opted for mediation, and it played out very similarly to other people's experiences.
In the first call I outlined my case, and I referred to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 as the reason to why I do in fact have a contract with them.
In the second call the mediator came back with an offer of the full amount of the phone and postage £146.93, but not the court costs. I said I was not willing to accept this and the mediator came across as a bit irritated that I would not accept this and said I should be flexible. I insisted that the law was on my side and I was willing to take them to court. The mediator went back to Hermes with what I said.
In the third call the mediator said that they would offer the full amount. However, he said that Hermes still thought that I should have taken the case against Packlink instead, and that they would try to recover the court costs themselves from Packlink.
To be fair to them, if Packlink wasn't based in Spain I would've made the claim against them instead. But since they are overseas and the law lets me take action against Hermes directly, it's the best way of trying to recover the money.
So this is a great win. Thank you so much for your help and all of the resources available on this site. It has helped me so much especially as someone who does not know anything about making money claims.
Many thanks, stay safe and have a good Christmas!
