Quote from someone at CCBC

hi all just wanted to pass this on.
i called the county court business centre on Friday. The conversation went like this

Me: i bet you get quite a lot of these types of cases?

Them: we do indeed

Me: Hundreds?

Them: Hmmm...

Me: Thousands ?

Them: Long Silence

Me: My god thats incredible, scandalous

Them: yes it is

Me: That can't be right something should be done about them wasting your time and using all your budget up.( laughing )

Them: long silence

Me: it must be annoying

Them: i think the more people like you that are brave enough to fight them the better in my opinion.

Me: ok thanks

Them: good luck

Me ok Thank you
The silences were deafening and it seemed to me they were definitely fed up with the situation of system being hijacked and abused for commercial gain.

so good luck with everyones attempts at fighting back and a huge thank you to everyone who gives up their time to assist in helping those in need on these boards it is a vital resource and lets hope it puts pressure on the law makers to change this nasty self serving and corrupt little industry before it gets out if control, if it isn't already

Super post. Thanks for this, I've not seen any previous thread where this sort of interchange with the CCBC has taken place.

It's good to know that there is some recognition, beyond the parking forums, that the private parking skimdustry is getting totally out of control.

fineandandy

you are more than welcome

i thought so too umkomaas it was a thoroughly uplifting conversation and i came away thinking my goodness they must be absolutely sick to the back teeth with them just by the tone of their voice and the slow delivery of the words they used. the silences were the most deliberate and communicative thing i have ever heard !!

take it easy and good luck for future

Maybe some reverse Psychology is required to the
Justice Secretary

Private Parking companies are hijacking the county court system
and there is nothing you can do about it ?
