VCS have instructed BW Legal to discontinue yet another claim for car parking at Albert Street, Birmingham.
The problem VCS have is that the signage at Albert Street historically was in the name of Excel Parking services.
Dear BW Legal,
I note that the signage at Albert Street at the time of parking was in the name of Excel Parking Services and not your client, VCS. Any contract made by the driver would therefore have been with Excel. Your client is therefore not a party to any contract and has no standing to bring a claim.
I therefore look forward to receiving your notice of discontinuance within 7 days.
If you fail to cancel the hearing I will ask for my full costs under 27.14(2)g
https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/civil/rules/part27#27.14
This will include my full time spent on this matter at the litigant in person rate of £19/hour.
I refer you to the following blog posts, which confirm you are well aware of this matter from other cases.

I will make the court aware of these blog posts should you proceed to a hearing, as well as these cases which you are fully aware of.
Discontinued
VCS v Zozulya A8QZ6666
VCS v Ms M 3QZ53955
VCS v Ms O C8DP9D8C
VCS v Mr H C2DP0H7C
VCS v Mr W C1DP3H5V
Dismissed
VCS v Ms A C6DP7P37 claim dismissed.
BW Legal took a little longer than the 7 days, but a notice of discontinuance has now arrived.
Future Albert Street motorists can therefore send the same letter to BW Legal, but add in the link to this blog and the claim reference VCS v Ms C C8DP37CH.
Prankster Notes
The Prankster questions the morals of VCS owner Simon Renshaw-Smith for filing claims when he knows he has no standing to do so. Presumably he hopes the motorist will either be scared into paying up, or that if it goes to a hearing, neither the motorist or judge will realise the signage is in the wrong name.
The signage is now in the name of Vehicle Control Services. This matter only relates to historical parking events.
Happy Parking
The Parking Prankster
Are we anywhere near this being fraud at all??
ReplyDeleteIf Joe Public treat the court system this way they'd be hauled over the coals and possibly find themselves in very deep water... Yet this company and other parking companies constantly get away with it.
ReplyDeleteDiscontinuance of a, dare I say, Fraudulent Claim should not be the end of the matter. The court should be dealing with the person who signed documents containing such a colossal difference as WRONG COMPANY!
