Sorry if Im missing something really obvious but where is the newbies thread that you mentioned along with the template, I can't see anything at the top of the page and if I search newbie I just get a list of posts where it is mentioned.

You have taken 4 weeks to ask a very simple question It is on the opening page headed "Read this First".

I think that you need to take ownership of this or it could get very serious for your daughter. These people take motorists to court by the thousand, they lie in court, and can cause immense harm to peoples' credit ratings. Read what MPs think about this scum.

The whole industry is a scam, relying on threats of court, and the public's ignorance of the Law, A bill is currently before parliament which will regulate the scammers, many of whom are ex-clampers.

This is an entirely unregulated industry which is scamming the public with inflated claims for minor breaches of alleged contracts for alleged parking offences, aided and abetted by a handful of low-rent solicitors. Is has been suggested by an MP that some of these companies may have connections to organised crime.

Parking Eye, CPM, Smart, (especially Smart}, and others have already been named and shamed in the House of Commons as have Gladstones Solicitors, and BW Legal, (these two law firms take hundreds of these cases to court each week), hospital car parks and residential complex tickets have been especially mentioned. They lose most of them, and have been reported to the regulatory authority by an M.P. for unprofessional conduct

The problem has become so widespread that MPs have agreed to enact a Bill to regulate these scammers.

Sir Greg Knight's Private Members Bill to curb the excesses, and perhaps close down, some of these companies passed its Second Reading in the Lords this month, and, with a fair wind, will l become Law later this year..

All five readings are available to watch on the internet, (some 7-8 hours), and published in Hansard. MPs have an extremely low opinion of the industry. Many are complaining that they are becoming overwhelmed by complaints from members of the public. Add to their burden, complain in the most robust terms about the scammers.

Hit your back button, which will take you to the first page of the forum thread list. At the top of the list are four 'Sticky' threads. The one you want is the third down and is headed:
