KNOCK KNOCK Mrs May, anyone at home ??? what are you doing about these CCJ's

I have just sent off an email to my MP, will await his reply in case there is more I can add to that letter I sent him to the one I'm going to send to Theresa May. I have mentioned about ex clampers taking up private parking to make their ill gotten gains that way instead!

And again.

Don't forget that the BPA and IPC will be lobbying the Government to dumb down any plans against PPC World.

Send those letters, this month, NOW. Let the consumers' voices get louder again.

When will people realise that the reason why the PPC system will never be substantially and properly dealt with is very simple?

It boils down to one word: Money.

I have to admit that I am taken aback that this particular piece of gum has still got any flavour in it. The DM don't give a rat's ar*e other than boosting sales, nor does the government and nor do any of the institutions who are there to supposedly protect the consumer.

The painful truth is that PPC ticketing is a bare-faced scam. It always has been and always will be and in exactly the same way that clamping always was. An awful lot of gullible people have been taken in over the years about the depredations suffered by landowners at the hands of thoughtless or selfish motorists. This is nothing but an unmitigated lie and despite the predictions of some pro-PPC voices Carmageddon has never, ever happened and nor will it.

The Scottish got it right and the argument advanced in the case of Black -v- Carmichael could equally be applied to the demands for payment made in respect of PCN's because we know that people's financial futures are being clamped not their cars.

A dreadful amount of lipstick has been applied to the pig by way of Codes of Practice, ATA's POFA POPLA and the IAS but its all intended for one purpose. To distract us from that painful truth that its all a load of BS. And if you doubt me - read, for example, the BPA's five-year plans for the last few years. They set out well in advance of POFA with a single objective - to get private parking enforcement at parity with LA enforcement and they are a good way down that road.

And we have all connived at it. We deal with POPLA, the BPA and the IPC and all the time we give them credence we give credence to their argument. Martin Cutts was absolutely on the money when he described the BPA as "..one of the most socially dangerous organisations in the UK" and I agree whole-heartedly with that assessment.

With PPC's generating a lot of money - especially for the DVLA - each year can or will the genie ever go back into the bottle? Probably not. Proper regulation isn't the answer here. PPC's had the opportunity to get their house in order and have demonstrated in spades that they have neither the will nor the ability to do so because there is too much money to be made otherwise. The government released the genie when it colluded at the situation by accepting the BPA's concocted court case figures - even after they were told the figures were clap-trap so don't expect anyone in Whitehall to bare their neck now.

The government could ban this all tomorrow but they won't because like all of the so-called regulators in this field they are scared sh*tless of being taken to a very expensive Judicial Review if they do. Crapita have very deep pockets - even if their shares are currently performing like concrete gliders - as Beavis showed. None of the regulators will do nothing but go for the Aunt Sallies and nibble around the edges.

And the MCOL system will just be !!!!!!!ised further with online courts which will deliver even less justice than small claims. The system supposedly designed for the small man to gain redress has been cynically and deliberately hijacked (and is completely dominated) by large corporations to hammer the little man because it isn't just PPC's that exploit the situation with default CCJ's.

So unless and until the woman May is prepared to bite into that particular 2 million Scoville chilli nowt will happen.

I for one am very reluctant to engage any further with the organisations involved because over the last seven years they have singularly failed to do anything but protect the vested interests - which is just a euphemism for the money.

So all in all I believe that the only honest approach to the current situation is call on the government to ban PCN's. If companies want to manage car parks then get them to manage them - not "farm" them and s.56 should be repealed.

This is a campaign of asking people to keep sending Theresa May actual hard copies of the letters they've been deluged with. Let her advisers' desks overflow with annoying paperwork re PPCs.

No emails, all letters from genuine people pouring their hearts out. Write to your MP as well as Mrs May:

The more the better, write it yourself if you are able and enclose copies of the threatograms and rubbish thrown at you.

Do not do this by email - make your paperwork land with a thump on desks, just like it all landed in a very unwelcome way on your doormat.

Apparently the DCLG are looking to make an announcement before the year end so let's make MP's and Mrs May aware that action needs to be strong. You can be sure that the BPA and IPC suits are lobbying Parliament and meeting their friends in suits.

So let the consumers' voices be heard.
