    I do not think that asking your MP to visit websites is the way to go,


    I would suggest a sheet of A4 setting out the problem, including CCJs, low rent solicitors issuing robo claims, misrepresentation of the law, Judges not up to speed, the IPC appeals system, but not too many. You do not want to overwhelm him/her with detail.


    In my experience, MPs like things to be kept simple, brief, and to the point.
    You never know how far you can go until you go too far.

    A quick look at the Prankster's site might be enlightening though.

    That is my intention, he was born and still lives in our home town, he obviously knows the area very well, I will point out the problematic areas here, but I would like to 'point' one of his researchers in the right direction showing how widespread a problem it is.
  • Parking Prankster, pepipoo and this forum?
    Although a practising Solicitor, my posts here are NOT legal advice, but are personal opinion based on limited facts provided anonymously by forum users. I accept no liability for the accuracy of any such posts and users are advised that, if they wish to obtain formal legal advice specific to their case, they must seek instruct and pay a solicitor.
