When 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.

Very illuminating.
Certainly explains why the DVLA turns a blind eye to the shoddy practices of PPCs. At a couple of quid a pop, it soon start becoming serious dosh.0 -
A nice little earner - over £6m.
Edit: based on the BBC link from this thread, the figures represent 12 months not 6.0 -
That hasn't been determined as yet, look at the foi request and their reply. It was asked for the 6 month period not the 12 monthWhen posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you. They DO monitor the forum.

Yep, the reply quite clearly states - from 01/10/13 - 31/03/14.
Surely they can't be that incompetent as to issue 12 month figures against a 6 month period (clearly stated)?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. .

Protected income.
It becomes in the best interests of politicians to do anything they can to help the Scam that is fake parking tickets.
£6m is an awful lot of income to lose if the fake parking ticket industry goes down.Be happy...;)0 -
Okay so the dvla messed up with the figures, they have provided the 6 month data now. And it's in the first post
An interesting change is this below, don't know what it means 2012/3 figures in brackets, so a massive increase in keeper details requested by them.

Don't see Smart Parking listed (although T & C are, but with 'zero' against their name).
Unless they are doing it via Ranger back office service?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. .

Compex or Ranger I thinkWhen posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you. They DO monitor the forum.

Is it possible to obtain a breakdown of the Compex/Ranger figures? Every company they do checks for have to be AOS (of whichever flavour) and, I suspect, have a KADOE contract in place - or at least we have been led to believe must have been subject to the same checks as those who use the EDI. This would help us understand the figures rather better.My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016).
For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com0
