Thanks @honeybee13.

 

So today after 06 Months of my previous response to VCS, I have received a Letter Before Claim (attached) from ELMS Legal demanding £160 which the believe to be the debt I owe VCS. Sounds like it's a debt collection agency. They would like me to settle the balance by 25-Feb-21 else they would be going to the court.

 

Can someone please advise what should be the next step for me?

Hey guys,

 

after doing some search here. i have copied a letter from you guys which i'm looking to send to Elms Legal, please check and let me know if any thing needs changing. Would appreciate it. Thanks

 

To,

Elms Legal Limited,

Copy: Vehicle Control Services Limited, Sheffield

I write in response to your so-called “Letter Before Claim” received in relation to PCN Numbers VCSXXX for alleged terms and condition breaches.

I am writing to confirm that I have no intention of paying this ridiculous made-up sum of money for allegedly breaking some imaginary contract/T&Cs with your client.

You know and I know and now you know that I know all the stuff about bye-laws, prohibition, etc.  This whole claim is a nonsense and I’m sure any judge would agree.  It was a big own goal by your client Simple Simon to include £120 Unicorn Food Tax.  You should look up DDJ Harvey's judgement at Lewes on 5 February 2020 (claim number F0HM9E9Z).  He wasn't very happy with these invented amounts, was he?

Should your client wish to proceed with this farcical claim, I’ll be seeking recovery of costs on the basis of unreasonable behaviour, as well as damages for breach of GDPR.

Well done - you obviously know what you're doing in the snotty letter stakes!

 

Three tweaks.

 

"Copy: Simple Simon, Vehicle Control Services Limited, Sheffield" (as well as it being fun to insult the owner of VCS, the name we unaffectionately know him as here may well suggest where you're getting advice from, and Caggers beat Simon twice in court last week, he would do well to leave you alone).

 

Write "PCN Number" in the first proper line (as in singular, the person whose thread you looked at had had two PCNs).

 

Change the amount of the Unicorn Food Tax to £60 (again, you got one ticket, the other Cagger got two).

 

Apart from that - great.  Invest in two 2nd class stamps tomorrow and get free Certificates of Posting from the post office for both.

It's a standard letter, another Cagger got one yesterday.

 

The LBC said you had to pay or VCS would take you to court.  You refused to pay.  Therefore VCS should now be taking you to court.  Instead they're still faffing around with these silly letters.

 

Ignore it.  Yours is not the next move.

If driver unidentified and threatening Keeper, the £60 Unicorn Feed tax is an abuse of process as per DDJ Harvey in Lwes County Court 5th February 2020 so that will be to their detriment if they did issue a claim

I see that you do go round looking at other threads [well done] so I suspect you are probably aware of the Airports Act 1986-an Act that covers most airports in the UK. 

 

Under section 63 [2] which relates to Byelaws it states

"(d)for regulating vehicular traffic anywhere within the airport, except on roads within the airport to which the road traffic enactments apply, and in particular (with that exception) for imposing speed limits on vehicles within the airport and for restricting or regulating the parking of vehicles or their use for any purpose or in any manner specified in the byelaws;"

 

In other words Byelaws are  used on roads other than those covered by the Road Traffic Act. It will become useful for you when you do your Witness Statement.

Thanks a lot @lookinforinfo for the post.

I'm sure it will be helpful when the time comes.

 

On a different note, could VCS just go to the court and somehow get a ruling against me (in my absence) citing I did not respond to their comms?

 

To address your curiosity, I was hovering around to pick some of the common sense, mostly from the site/admin teams, as I have always been such a PCN magnet.

 

I have several PCNs plastered over my wall as a reminder that I have to be careful NEXT time so I didnt end up losing $$$$. But clearly its not working.

 

I will be honest I find these traffic signs quite overwhelming (I know it sounds stupid).

 

few days ago I went to a local shop to pick up some coffee and due to ongoing construction, the road i was hoping to take was closed and ended up going through the town centre which, at the time, i thought was good for a change.

 

and surprise surpise i got PCN today for going through a Bus Lane in the town center.

Being a numbskull, at the time I thought the sign (attached) meant only Cars and Bikes

I drove through without a second though.

 

Now that I have googled  it, it actually means quite the opposite 🙈.

Can not believe the sheer stupidity. Dont know if its a disease or somekind of traffic syndrome. 😖

Anyone can sue anyone for anything.  If I had your address, I could go on the MCOL site now, pay £25, and sue you for £100 because I don't like the style of pullover you're wearing today.

 

Similarly, Simple Simon could start a court claim against you for his fictitious debt.

 

Where both absurd claims would go wrong is that you would get claimforms from the court, stating the particulars of claim, which you would defend.

 

So the answer is no, there is ample opportunity to defend any rubbish court claim.

Hi Guys,

Finally county court claim form has landed. I was wondering if I should file the defence and counterclaim online or send a physical copy? also not sure what exactly to enter as a defence. I have attached a redacted copy of the claim form. Any advice or guidance will be very much appreciated.

Thank you @dx100uk for your support. i do greatly appreciate.

Thanks for correcting the defence filing date. I was a little bit confused about this one yesterday. 

Have already registered and completed AOS on MCOL website as per the above advised criteria.

I have now also created a CPR 31.14 request and sending it to Elms later this afternoon.

Will start working on the Defence now.

 

Thanks again

one last question before I send off CPR 31 request. Claim form does not say Solicistors (it only says Address for Sending Documents etc) in the Box below the Claimant Box and mentions Elms details. Does it mean I should consider ELMS a solicitor for VCS? or should I post a copy to VCS as well just in case?

Also does it have to be 2nd calss recorded or just a 2nd/1st class stamp would suffice with a proof of posting from Post Office?

 

Thank You
