    I’m afraid you’re struggling if you can’t understand the NEWBIES FAQ sticky, post #1 is all you need to digest at this early stage. No one here will pick up your case from base 1 and explain every single step of the way.

    Your choices are:

    1. Spend more time and get to grips with what experts have provided in the sticky (it’s the best available anywhere) and deal with it from there.
    2. Ignore it, but that could easily lead to a claim against you in the county court (and if you think basic appealing a PCN is difficult, you won’t want to be dealing with the complexities of defending a court claim)
    3. Pay the damn thing - no one here would recommend that, because you will have just been scammed
    4. Employ a solicitor (who we guarantee will know far, far less about private parking issues than we do) - pay him £500 to try to get you off this, and likely won’t manage it. Total cost £600!

    Up to you. But just grab yourself a cuppa, settle down and slowly go through post #1 of the sticky, and slowly the curtain will rise.

    Clear as mud, hardly. It is not painting by numbers, but it is not quantum physics either. It is written for TMOTCO and you should be able to grasp the concepts after a few reads.

    If you do not intend to pay it you need to put in the hours. It is as simple as that.
    You never know how far you can go until you go too far.

    You’re going to have to decipher that one for me TD. Even a Google search has failed me.
