Your link was wrongWhen posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you. They DO monitor the forum.
We don't need the following to help you.
Name, Address, PCN Number, Exact Date Of Incident, Date On Invoice, Reg Number, Vehicle Picture, The Time You Entered & Left Car Park, Or The Amount of Time You Overstayed.

Yes I noticed that too, though I'm reading this on my mobile so can't see it properlyWhen posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you. They DO monitor the forum.

Hello
Long time lurker, first time poster here.
Would someone with more understanding of these things than I be able to outline the potential consequences of this appeal outcome?
If it is accepted that a contract is formed between the PPC and the driver, is it not still the case that any charges levied for an alleged breach of contract can only represent a genuine pre-estimate of loss, which of course the majority of parking charges do not.
Will this result in an increase in PCC doing court?0 -
I think I would welcome some comment from polyplastic and other lawyers after then have studied the judgement to see exactly what this means to the much quoted vcs-v-hmrc foundation that we and others have been quoting for some time.
Nothing on pepipoo yet.0
