If VCS try and appeal that, I'll eat my hat.

Interesting, thank you for posting.

So, under CPR 6.9, if a parking company has “reason to believe” that the DVLA/KADOE/V5C address it has been given is wrong, eg if the registered keeper has telephoned them and told them so, then it can’t just proceed with what it knows to be the wrong address in order to get a default judgment in its favour.

Unless the Supreme Court decides otherwise!

VCS' representative said he had been instructed to report that VCS would seek to appeal any adverse judgement to the Supreme Court  ::)
Yeah, good luck with that!

Phillip Carr v Vehicle Control Services (https://caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ewca/civ/2025/713)

A useful judgement on service of a claim form and appealing findings of fact.
