    Is there an 'ignore list' facility whereby readers can block viewing the posts of selected posters ?

    Thank you Antispam.

    For others who like me may not know how to do this I have found a much easier way.

    Just click on the name of the selected poster in the left hand column and select 'View Public Profile'.
    When the profile comes up there is an option at the top of the screen to add the selected poster to your ignore list. Merely click on that.
    I have tested this method and it works.
    The only unfortuate consequence is that I will not be able to view Antispam's response to this post.
    I use 'unfortunate' in completely the wrong sense.

    We've told you how it will go, and the thread I linked earlier on here even shows you EXACTLY what letters you will receive over the coming months. What more info do you need? :)

    There's nothing else to tell you except ignore them and live your life, don't appeal, don't contact them in any way, don't panic.

    But - how come you (later) started another thread about a clamping issue? Isn't the clamping more concerning to you than this piece of paper, seeing as you actually paid the scammers in that case? You need to get that money back and forget about this rubbish.

    The clamp money is almost impossible to claim back as someone said in
    that post.I think im just UNLUCKY!!!!

    People say it is almost hard to prove how long I actually was there and how long the clampers waited no way to prove without cameras phsyically recording them.

    So with this case, as it is just a piece of paper and no money yet. It just depends if this company has got clever over the last 4 years since they started as they must know of what people think so thoguht of new ideas and tricks.

    I haven't a clue why you think that, it's total rubbish.

    Getting clamping money back takes some work but if you word your NBA right and hassle the occupier of the land you can get a refund at that stage. Then if not, you can go to Court to get the money back - I haven't seen any cases on pepipoo.com where the judge decided that a private clamping was fair & lawful. The idiotic clamping knuckle-dragging thugs that set up these scam companies just don't possess the brains to get all the signage and paperwork right - and they are generally too greedy with their extortionate 'obvious penalty' amounts!

    Look at their successes thread on pepipoo.com and post on there about the clamping (not about this worthless piece of paper) if you haven't already...or are you a PPC plant trying to make people think getting your clamping money back is impossible? If so, don't bother, as we know on here that private clamping money refunds/CCJs are perfectly achievable.

    If you are just a genuine taxi driver then I haven't the foggiest why you have posted 2 different threads and are ignoring the advice on both? There's nothing to worry about with this ticket, PPCs are not clever, they have learned nothing!
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
