    UKPC is a fraudster, read this

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/11858473/Parking-firm-UKPC-admits-faking-tickets-to-fine-drivers.html

    They were also named and shamed in the H of C last week as scammers, their card has been well and truly marked.

    Watch this

    If ir gets to court, bring it to the judge's attention and complain in robust terms to your MP. With a fair wind they will be gone by this time next year.

    Your next step should be to read Coupon Mad's post above, number 18 and follow the advice contained therein.

    Read it all to help you understand the whole scam. Do not foget to watch the video and complain to your MP as advised in Post Number 23.

    Yes I certainly can.

    It's post number two in the NEWBIES thread that you need to read - the whole post.
    Read it several times until you understand it.

    As you have received a Letter Before Claim, it might be an idea to initially pick out those bits that explain exactly how you respond to such a letter.

    As you can probably imagine, a Letter Before Claim is the beginning of the court process. Thus you can expect to find details on how to respond to such a letter at the beginning of the post that describes the Small Claims process.

    Hi Keith, thanks for that. I already received 1 LBC letter to which I replied. I received their reply and am now struggling to find out how I should respond.

    Part of the problem I'm having is that I unfortunately know that I'm in the wrong and don't really know what basis I have to reply with, if any.

    I've read the post you mentioned and I'm having a slightly hard time digesting everything.

    As you have already responded to the LBC, just wait for the claim form from the County Court Business Centre.

    No-one has said it is easy, but it may well be a bit daunting the first time.
    It will sink in... persevere.

    Put that entirely out of your head. You parked where you should not have a few times, a very small deal indeed. They want £600 for that, you could vandalise a bus shelter for less..

    They are the bad guys, you have a cavalier attitude towards minor trespass.

    Hi Keith, I'm a little confused right now as to what to do next. I've received a large letter through the post which shows pictures of where I parked on what dates along with a photocopy PCN. Of course this is because I requested more proof from them and now they have sent me evidence.

    They've given me another 30 days to reply, so could you kindly advice me?

    Many Thanks.
