    I just think its amazing luck that his first ticket fell to someone who came on here to ask. What's the chances of that?
    Thankfully his empire got nipped in the bud rather quickly.
    If anything, he should thank his lucky stars that it did, because if he had of had lots of payments come in he would of been in a lot deeper water

    How do you know it was the first? The "Charge number" on the ticket is 1057093, though that probably uses the notion of starting from a random number, rather than 000001, in order to add more legitimacy. It seems it was the first day of Aiden's bungling plan, but did any others get tickets and (attempt to) pay?

    See Post #33 - that would suggest that there were at least 2.
    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.com

    From Carl's piece:
    'He claimed friends who worked in the parking enforcement industry ....'

    and
    'The idea was given to me by a mate who works in the private parking business.'

    Should be possible to work out which, given that AT cribbed both proto-site and 'donation' p/w from something.

    PV - thanks for 'legal cheek', not prev. known to me.

    re: #83.
    Every so often, question arises of how many are helped via mse, pp, pepipoo, cowboys et al, against the tsunami[justified usage this time]of those who pay up, unaware.

    AT strikes me as a young man who is
    -not as clever as he thinks he is;
    -not as clever as he'd like to be;
    -not truly evil;
    -immature in ways that DO matter, but has fathered a son regardless;
    -that son needs a better template;
    -AT needs to find some way to earn a living away from dysfunctional friends and lifestyle.
    - has hitherto looked for quick-fix money and solutions.

    Can we offer any sensible work advice, since
    - he speaks of reading this Thread,
    - has some basic tech. skills, as yet unmatched by any likely employment prospects.

    Presumably, he has handed over his donation stub p/w so any other recipients can be tracked. Did Carl ask how many had been issued? I see no mention of this.

    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.

    No, saw all of it and some other before it went up here, Umkomaas.
    Thought site and picture of him, with 2 'friends', was sufficiently indicative of that.#51.

    Anyway, denizens of Plymouth now know.
    What sensible advice/on-tap guidance is in place for adjudged no-hopers like AT?
    -especially now.

    "I spoke to a police officer and went in to say I made a bit of a mistake, a bit of an error on my part. I wasn't intending to create fraud"

    So why did this clown go the trouble of creating a fake company and putting the BPA logo on his paperwork if it was just a simple mistake? He must have thought long and hard about his actions to go to so much trouble.

    What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?
