    History will judge this badly. People will look at back at this parking debacle and wonder how it could ever happen. If they are not stopped soon then there will be a big backlash. Could go the way of PPI.

    We now look back at clampers and wonder how it was ever allowed to get so out of hand. Clampers should have been disallowed from setting up as a PPC.

    Would love it to go like PPI and the bank charges :)

    I started my life on here with "claim back unfair bank charges"
    and we had fun threatening the banks with court and if it went that far, they never turned up and the bailiffs were sent in

    What we need is a common denominator to "claim back unfair parking charges"

    Then some of these rogue solicitors would turn from poacher to gamekeeper. It would be great if people could claim back unfair parking charges. It certainly would give Simon Double-Barrelled something to moan about.

    If the law changes then some people may try to claim back retrospectively especially the larger cases.

    And there are 6 years in which to do so.
    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.
