    BPA member, so give it another week then complain to the BPA if they haven't either cancelled or given you a PoPLA code by that time.

    Write bad stuff on the hotel's feedback page, Facebook, and TripAdvisor, tweet against them and visit Trivago, etc.. Let them know that cosying up to these scammers can affect their bottom line.

    Complain to your MP. On 18th March 2019 a Bill was enacted to curb the excesses of these private parking companies. Codes of Practice are being drawn up, an independent appeals service will be set up, and access to the DVLA's date base more rigorously policed, and persistent offenders denied access. Hopefully life will become impossible for the worst of these scammers.

    Until this is done you should still complain to your MP, citing the new legislation.

    Just as the clampers were finally closed down, so hopefully will many of these Private Parking Companies.

    Did it include a POPLA code? If so, NEWBIE thread post # 3 to read up about POPLA appeals. Do not miss the deadline!
