Just been looking through the forum and, in the last week, there have been over 180 active threads.

That is 180 people who we have tried to help in the last 7 days. That's some workload for a handful of unpaid volunteers to handle.

The Parking companies have been very busy as well - particularly Parking Eye.

So may I ask new thread starters to help us manage this workload by

(a) Reading a few current threads to see if any answers already posted can help you as a starter. If you start your thread after getting a bit of the feel of things and some of the abbreviations it really helps us if you hit the ground running.

(b) Give us something to work with such as where the contravention occurred (England/Wales or Scotland, for example), was there a windscreen ticket, have you had a NtK (Notice to Keeper - first abbreviation). You help us - we help you. Deal?

(c) Be prepared to do a bit of work yourself. We try to avoid template appeals as it is better for you to use the appeal points we give you but couch them in your own words, or at least some of them.

(d) Another deal point - when the matter is resolved, win or lose, if we have helped or tried to help you, come back and report on the result. It will help us help the next person.

Thanks.

I totally agree Guys Dad - I only became involved with this forum after helping someone with a parking charge - I spent hours reading information on the internet (and this forum) before submitting the claim to POPLA (without posting details) and then decided to try and help others.

On the upside the fact that the board is so busy indicates more people are becoming aware of the parking charge scams to the financial detriment of the PPCs!:)
