    What letter do you think will arrive? Nothing...then you will get a CCJ for not paying.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    There is no-one to thank here. You're very first comment indicated there was an amount to be paid but you've been misled about it being a scam. It is not.

    You've been misled about the help. The help is just people echoing each other with little understanding of the law and a lot of opinion about their skills. They wouldn't survive in court day in / day out.

    There is a lot of money for the operators in convincing people that these are unenforceable as it allows operators to charge the extras for collecting the unarguable debt. You might even wonder why there is so much faulty advice.

    The thanks, if there is any, is to those that got you to this point. The thanks is from the operators.
    I cannot teach anyone anything, I can only make them think.

    Fixed that for you.

    Every post you make berates people for daring to defend.

    You are not being nice to newbies. Far from it, you represent the views of the scammers.

    Your industry is clearly worried, or you are personally, to bother to come here trying to put a spanner in the works of a very successful forum, and to post such awful things as you did the other week when you took the mickey out of an ordinary family with a McKenzie friend trying to cope with a claim.

    Read my signature. Most of your ilk break out in a cold sweat when they realise I'm against them in court.

    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.

    Not sure if it will do any good but I've reported the poster Socrates_1

    contract law is contract law. In principle therefore a parking contract is no scam. However, shoddy operators, poorly positioned signs and absolute intransigence make it entirely understandable that others take a different view, such that further review by government is ongoing.

    Perhaps there's some truth in that, but no one likes generalisation. This is not a regulated legal services provider. True. But then again, plenty of people have survived more than one hearing and some really do know their onions, as noted above. I survive the legal system day in day out - gotta pay the mortgage, after all.
    There is a lot of money for the operators in convincing people that these are unenforceable as it allows operators to charge the extras for collecting the unarguable debt. You might even wonder why there is so much faulty advice
    .
    unarguable debt? Everything is arguable, that's why it's litigation. It might help if operators did not levy charges and issue proceedings with dubious authority to recover those costs in all cases (in addition to the contractual debt). We note that even after the o/p's disaster the court excluded bolt ons for legal costs that should never have been claimed.
    The thanks, if there is any, is to those that got you to this point. The thanks is from the operators.
    Well the ticket was paid. Some overheads were dealt with by the additional £60 recovered, but there were also disbursement costs, so I'm not convinced there's a huge profit margin. This is largely pour encourager les autres isn't it? And that's not to factor in the lost cases.

    The only generalisation is that claims don't defend themselves. Work needs to be done to prepare the papers and to present the best argument. Templates need to be tailored to specific circumstances "fairness" obviously ain't gonna cut it as a basis for a defence.
