Would you care to name the one you think is misguided by claiming the charges are illegal, unlawful and/or unenforcible?
Why is it just one who says that that you think is misguded? Is that because all the users id's that post similar comments actually belong to the same individual?

...will there be new legislation to cover the new rules....
I doubt any new legislation is required.
... but perhaps a clarification of existing legislation, similar to the way the legality of that other charge people use to say was illegal, unlawful and /or uneforcible was recently clarified

On that basis, why the need for an appeals panel?trisontana wrote: »I don't think there are many court cases. In fact there are hardly any.You either get people who believe all the PPC rubbish and pay up without question, and the other group who ignore the PPC letters, with the PPCs eventually not pursuing the matter any further
Either people think they are in wrong and "pay up without question" or think they are well within their rights to ignore any demand. "Now to trolling as a concept. ....

Now that's a Monster conspiracy theory. I wonder if this supposed "one person" is also responsible for all the posts on the Pepipoo and Consumer Action forums?What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0 -
Because of the transport ministers statement that self regulation has failed, he has opened a can of worms. this means that now PPC's who currently take 00000000000000.2% to court will have to now settle for 00000000000000000.1% or less0

Sounds crazy, doesn't it? (although we know you for one is responsible for some of the posts on Pepipootrisontana wrote: »Now that's a Monster conspiracy theory. I wonder if this supposed "one person" is also responsible for all the posts on the Pepipoo and Consumer Action forums?
Anyway perhaps Spartacus_Mills who has already thanked you for your post can explain why only one person who has the view that charges are illegal, unlawful and/or unenforcible is certainly misguided?
Or perhaps it was just a poor attempt by one of the usual mob to make a snide attack at me, but got it so massively wrong? At least the poster is consistent. :rotfl:"Now to trolling as a concept. ....

What the difference between 00000000000000.2% and 0.2%?
... and what is the source of your statistics please? A link would be nice

I doubt that this parking appeals panel would be useful at all (if not useless).
You only need to look at the work of the FSA in the finance industry or OFGEN in the energy industry or OTWAT in the water industry. They are supposed to be powerful bodies protecting the interest of the public but they have been lettting many cowboys company doing whatever they want to the point that the price of energy & water are uncontrollable and that the country got sucked into poor lending and greed practices. Every year, these independent/regulator panels consume millions of tax payers money for nothing. The directors of these panels/bodies get paid hundreds of thousands of pounds for not turning up to work. Nope we do not want another one of these panels.
What they could start doing is setting up guidelines: For example, if somebody uses a disabled parking space for 10 mins without displaying a blue badge on your land, the land owner must be an idiot and a scammer to claim over £200.0 -
Ok! so I put my decimal point in the wrong place. and maybe I was still being too generous to the PPC's lol0

Not much hope in them getting this thing sorted in a balanced manner when this ""Currently, private companies can request vehicle keepers’ details from the DVLA in order to issue penalty notices for drivers who have illegally parked on private land."" was taken from Mr Khans recent speech to BPA.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0
