    Well if I may, for a kick off you are making broad generalisations using statistics based over the past year rather than the current reality.

    I have, and would rather, trust specific recommendations to an individuals circumstances when dealing with their particular parking company.

    One wonders too, what proportion of the POPLA fails you quote are truly genuine cases to appeal. Certainly not all of them!

    They are the published stats. Interpret them how you will.

    You asked me to explain why I made the comment not recommending your help to anyone.

    I explained that and you dismiss it out of hand.

    Just strengthens my argument to follow the advice of those who are providing practical and helpful information.

    Practical and helpful only if you want to play in la-la land. That's where they want you to be, on their turf, where they set the rules and pay for the privilege.

    As I said - you are giving advice that I would neither use nor recommend to anyone.

    If others wish to take notice of what you say and act upon it then that is for them to decide.

    Naturally, everyone must decide for themselves.

    That's untrue. Less than 50% of POOPLA appeals are successful and the number is decreasing. That's just quoting POOPLA's own statistics.

    You have close to a 1 in 380,000 chance of nothing happening if you ignore.

    My patience is infinite. My arguments are immutable. Let's go a few more rounds to keep this thread at the top of the pile. BUt, guys, please - please stop the abusive comments. I am an old person who fought wars so you could exercise your voice. Try to up your game.

    Thank you for just confirming my exact argument and thus my suspicions about your mental abilities. I realise you will never understand what you have just done, so there is no point in any more rounds, but I trust all other readers will have a good giggle at your mistake.

    Just added the bit you missed!
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Sure. I will. A maths degree helps with that by the way.

    You must be one hell of a psychiatrist if you can diagnose mental abilities from there.

    I'm talking about mental abilities, not mental disorders.

    As has already been noted, your maths is crap and that can be easily diagnosed from a distance.
