    What the BPA may say about anything is of no consequence. Patrick Upskirt Troy has gone and the BPA's will probably be gone by Christmas.

    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.

    Thanks for the link Umkomass. I didn't know about that! :eek:

    I was thinking about causing them a bit more aggravation but I'll just send the letter as it is.

    Hi Guys

    I've been trying to lodge an online appeal against the 2nd PCN I received from G24 as advised above but I keep getting this error message "an error occurred while processing your request". The PCN is dated 30.1.18 so I'm still within the 28-day period to appeal but I've tried 3 different browsers and keep getting the same message. What would you advise?
  • My vehicle received a Parking Charge Notice from G24 while overstaying in a B&M Car. After complaining in store, I received a letter from G24 stating that they are dropping the PCN. Always worth the complaint in store :D
  • This Parking Bill has was re-heard in Parliament on July 19th, 2018 slamming Gladstones. Read on!

    Transcripts are at :
    hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2018-07-19/debates/2b90805c-bff8-4707-8bdc-b0bfae5a7ad5/Parking(CodeOfPractice)Bill(FirstSitting[/url])

    Great excerpts:


    i. "The companies are jamming up parts of our legal system. When the Minister is putting the code of practice together, I urge him to consider on a cross-Government basis what we can do about roboclaims companies and solicitors’ firms that profit, often in shady ways, off the back of people who are just going about their daily lives and business."
    ii. “I now pretty much know exactly how the parking companies and in particular the IPC have been running this scam for the past 5 years. Basically both of the appeals processes are a complete and utter sham, (and part of that sham is Gladstones Solicitors itself).” I should be clear that that is Gladstones Solicitors in Knutsford—other companies might have a similar name. The letter continues: “The appeals process at Excel/VCS is run by a team of minimum wage office workers with no legal knowledge or experience whatsoever, who are given 6 minutes to read an appeal, and 12 minutes to reply. Most of these replies are obviously cut and pasted from existing templated replies (sometimes referring to issues which are not part of the motorists appeal), with a few lines added in to make it look specific to your claim."
