    Surely that website is deceptive ? How can they say each month they are taking people to court when we know they are not

    Know what the 9 stands for? It is the final digit of the year of issue of proceedings. So these cases date back to 2009, which is pre Pofa.

    That's not my learned(!!) advice, that's the wise words on NoToMob website:

    http://notomob.co.uk/discussions/index.php?topic=2854.0

    ...and I wouldn't even expect that these cases were UKPC cases since we know they haven't 'done' court and most of us have been posting for YEARS on these forums!

    The amount also suggests they weren't even parking tickets! In fact UKPC actually uses these words:
    Each month people receive CCJ’s from the civil courts after trying to avoid paying one of our parking charges. Here are a few examples :

    I will stick my neck out and say these are cases plucked from the civil court records at one court in 2009 and nowt to do with UKPC. After a quick bit of online digging for similar court codes you can see they all from Manchester court in 2009 like in this PDF example from a different litigant:

    http://www.harbourlitigationfunding.com/pdfs/adris_v_rbs.pdf

    Who fancies doing an FOI request to Manchester County Court to provide all court cases in 2009 where UKPC were the claimant and in particular, any information about {then list all those so-called court cases!}.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Wow, so they are really just lying about all that? I had my suspicions once I started reading up on the forum, but still. That's really ridiculous.

    Indeed it seems that way. Certainly all just the same area, same time, same court (some of those codes are a digit apart = 09 and 10 at the end)! IMHO just a random list of court cases, nowt to do with Scotland and we think nowt to do with UKPC.
