    It's not a particularly important point, but after reviewing all the written communications received from Minster Baywatch, I noticed something that may be an interesting aside.

    Even though all their letters are hand signed, none of them state any typed name of who that person whose signature it is.

    But I have since realised that the signature of the person, with the official title written underneath as 'Debt Recovery Team', the chief of their internal collections who gleefully sent me numerous threatening red demands, is the same person who, most probably begrudgingly, signed the letter informing me that due to POPLA's appeal decision going in my favour, the PCN had been cancelled and no further action needed.

    I realise that their office may be small, but I find it shocking that they can create fictitious departments to send threatening demands in the sole attempt to pressurise innocent drivers into paying their ludicrous charges.

    Rant over.

    Even the one man and his dog outfits have various departments with mythical teams and officers. Strangely none of them have their own fraud department.

    Then of course there are the ubiquitous palatial-sounding head offices. Here's a very nice example:

    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.
