    ...if this does result in going to court will I have to pay for a solicitor
    No.

    You are a university student. Do some research.

    Try reading post #2 of the NEWBIES thread where you will find all the guidance you could possibly need to defend a court case - should that happen.


    By the way, what subjects are you studying?
  • I’m studying business management and finance

    Management is management, whether you are managing bin operatives or barristers, we do not have time to research your case for you. Complain to your MP.

    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 become so widespread that MPs agreed to enact a Bill to regulate these scammers. Hopefully, this will become law by Easter .
