DVLA sells 19,000 vehicle details a day to parking giants chasing unpaid fines as MPs issue warning over 'bully boy' firms

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4726790/DVLA-sells-19-000-vehicle-details-day-parking-firms.html

Jacob Rees-Mogg wants the DVLA to srike off companies 'suspected of behaving badly'


This will apply to ALL THE COWBOYS

"A ParkingEye spokesman said: ‘We operate with clear, standard and proportionate procedures which follow the British Parking Association’s code of practice. We encourage people who have received a parking charge to appeal if they think they should not have received a charge"


BUT ... THEY STILL SAY NO ANYWAY ... WHAT RUBBISH

    It all seems so simple, why isn't it?

    Known around Westminster as the Minister for the 18th Century. He even has a butler at home. :D

    I think he's great, and he certainly has the best understanding of what's going on in the private parking scam, better than any of his counterparts on both sides of Parliament.
    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.

    A very serious politician, if he is on the case PPCs had better clean up their act.

    Just looking at the happy snap on the DM & the picture of the PCN.


    "Warning- Unauthorised removal or interference with this notice is an offence"


    Could someone tell me what offence you are committing when you remove it from the windscreen?
    Private Parking Tickets - Make sure you put your Subject Access Request in after 25th May 2018 - It's free & ask for everything, don't forget the DVLA :D

    If you throw it down then its littering, if you take it from a random car is it theft?
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    The PCN in the picture is a Penalty Charge Notice, issued by a Council. The DM and other papers never get that bit right.

    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.

    None AFAIAA, but when I brought this up with the BPA several years ago they ignored it. At the same time I suggested that the black and yellow windscreen envelopes may give some the impression that they had been given a "real" ticket, they were also ignored it.

    The BPA are well past their sell by date and not fit for purpose
