Looking at next week's Radio Times it appears that the programme may be dealing with private parking tickets:-
One motorist overstayed free parking by 14 minutes and feels he shouldn't have to accept a £70 fee as his wife has mobility issues. Another got a ticket for pulling into a private parking area for four minutes.
This seems to be a new programme and not a repeat.

Never much liked cheeky-chappie-man-of-the-people Dom, but I suppose the more exposure of this racket the better.You never know how far you can go until you go too far.0

Yes I had one of their researchers on the phone a few weeks ago, and pointed them towards some suitable 'victims' of the extortion racket now legalised by the wise Judges of the Appeal Court ...
I have been providing assistance, including Lay Representation at Court hearings (current score: won 57, lost 14), to defendants in parking cases for over 5 years. I have an LLB (Hons) degree, and have a Graduate Diploma in Civil Litigation from CILEx. However, any advice given on these forums by me is NOT formal legal advice, and I accept no liability for its accuracy.0 -

This is how the Dom show will go.
He'll phone them up (he won't write), say he's from the BBC. After initial pushback, he'll agree a deal with them whereby the victim pays up £25 admin charges in full and final settlement of a fake parking ticket. Then he'll look all smug about how he's saved them £75 on their parking ticket.
He won't educate the viewers in any aspect of private parking. He'll just look all made up at having scored a victory over some PPC or other.
That'll be it.Je Suis Cecil.0 -
According to the few seconds of preview on tonight's Watchdog, they sent somebody to work undercover in a PPC office. "Deception" and "bullying" were mentioned.What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0
