in Parking tickets, fines & parking
There is now an offical CAB section with advise from CAB advisors.

Would it worth putting up questions and playing devils advocate, or asking why they give such bad advice on ppc's

    To be fair to CAB advisers many who are volunteers, their advise on PPC matters is normally crap. However we can say to a poster ignore the PPC, and if, and we know its a big if the PPC does issue a claim we can all duck!

    Unfortunately CAB would have to cover their own backside as well!

    Off the record I bet most would say ignore them, but on the record Hmmmmmm?

    We have seen some posters saying their solicitors have said "you need to pay it" as you entered a contract??????

    Hi Phil

    I've moved your question to the parking board as it's not one CAB are able to answer on the forum at the moment.

    Why is that? CAB do have "official" guidance on parking and a past history of answering such questions as part of their service.

    You have to laugh or you'd weep! The shocking thing is, the CAB SHOULD be able to answer this question!

    Maybe we want serious, informed answers to simple questions put to the CAB.

    No. So you have an axe to grind. So what tbh. Trolling a different forum won't achieve anything, other than tieing up resources other users of this website could be using seriously. Stick to prank calls to Parking Eye if you need to do something to amuse yourself. They're your enemy, not the CAB.
