    Will PE give a sh*t? Will the BPA give s stuff? Will the DM actually do anything?

    Don't rely on any of these bodies to change what they are currently doing. PE know that this sort of case and the publicity that goes with it just serves to frighten a few more into paying up when they get an invoice. From the BPA point of view PE are too big to fail or ban and the DM only really wants the headlines. In any event if one was to believe what the DM had to say post-POFA the banning of clamping was down to them. As if.

    All of these players have a vested interest in the status quo. No one, you'll notice, has the consumer's interest at heart. I remain to be convinced that TMay will do anything other than tell DCLG to have another look at things. Once Brexit has been sorted.

    If we want to gain an insight into what TMay is likely to do to support the enforcement of the law as far as Joe Soap is concerned we only need look at what she succeeded in doing with the police while she was at the Home Office. All I'll say is if you really believe that frontline services haven't been affected then you are obviously looked after by Toytown Police.

    I could talk in detail about a semi-rural area in the "busy south" that only 15 years ago was covered by 12 officers at night. Now it is covered by 3. And after 2.00am maybe only 1 or even none.
    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

    The chances are high that no action will take place to curb the parking bandits as a result of any so called enquiry. Once these things are in the hands of the Sir Humphries of this world then they just die a natural.
    These things take an age to complete and the £1000 or so a day paid to the "big name" chairman is an incentive to drag it out a few years or months.
  • Yes, the changes are small and incremental, but still important.

    The Hospital Board have tried to extend the PE scheme to its Knutsford and Congleton sites, but both have been vetoed by the executive.

    I doubt that PE will give a monkeys toss. The question remains is how much do these hospitals benefit financially, does Mr Hunt know how much or does he take a share as well. ??

    This is something the Daily Mail should concentrate on and root out the problem.

    It is not just PE who make huge profits from this scam, who else does from their activities??

    Whistleblowers who know things we don't should now come forward

    As far as the BPA is concerned, they have proven themselves that they are a dangerous organisation, dangerous to themselves and very dangerous to the motorist. The BPA is no longer qualified to be an ATA. If they believe that by having an employee of Parking Eye on their board and then expect credibility or being trustworthy they are living in the clouds. Who runs the BPA ..... Parking Eye ???

    The DCLG can only be considered as traitors to the public and again, one wonders what part of the action they participate in.

    Theresa May has committed herself and also to the public that the CCJ scam will be investigated. If she fails us on this, then all other statements she has made would no longer be trusted.

    Remember when Tony Blair resigned ? He of course knew of the trouble ahead ..... David Cameron resigned as he knew of the trouble ahead.

    So either Mrs May is the new broom who will sweep clean or she will sweep herself under the carpet
  • Was this another case of not telling DVLA about a change of address? There seems to be a running theme of not telling them and then getting a ccj. Whilst I really do feel sorry for them its up to us to make sure they know, are you certain that the dvla know the address correctly? Its quite simple, do you get your tax/mot reminders by post?
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Yes, this could be a major problem but I think this is all about proving the address is correct. It's not only the DVLA who provides an address

    On the basis of the number of people who forget to tell the DVLA when they move, what about insurance, are there countless 1000's of cars on the road who are insured but at the wrong address ?

    Probably, comparatively few claim in that year and usually correct it when reinsuring.
    Pretend you are PE, you get the address off dvla, send bits and pieces to victim, they either ignore (due to bad advice) or they don't get them. PE don't know and aren't going to bother to check further as they will (probably) get the enhanced charge from most people.
    DM are right to push for no County Court without correct address but is also down to us to keep records up to date. So much easier than trying to mop up afterwards.

  • I've asked the hospital how much PE rake off their patients. They won't tell me "commercial justification" and all thst.

  • Would hospital know?
