Other notes:
The keeper didn't give my details to the creditor as they have stated in the Notice to Driver, I did, as shown in my first email to VCS.
The keeper never responded to any of the letters.

I'm aware I've definitely gone about this whole situation in the wrong way, cannot say I'm well versed in a situation like this..

Thanks.

A few thoughts that come to mind:

Did the creditor write to the keeper notifying them that their PCN has been cancelled?

Is the keeper the same person who pays for the parking space?

Are all addresses used by ELMS yours?

Where is the Letter of Claim? If you don't have it, can you think of a reason why not?


I'm unsure whether they notified the keeper or not regarding cancellation, I could find out.

The keeper is not the one who pays for the parking space, a friend I was visiting at the time is the one who pays for it.

All letters from ELMS are addressed to myself.

I don't recall receiving the Letter of Claim, unfortunately however I cannot say for 100% certainty that I didn't receive it or if I've missplaced it somewhere as I cannot find it alongside the other letters.

I forgot to tag this one on to the previous post which is the Issue of Proceedings from ELMS: https://imgur.com/a/dleThUV

It's important. The claimant cannot have two bites of this cherry.

As regards the LoC, they'll have to produce evidence to the court that it was issued. As far as your chronology is concerned it runs:

I think some dates are just visible in the emails, but getting them up front assists our understanding.

We need to have a full understanding before you launch into a template defence!
