    Nine out of ten of these so called breaches of contract are scams so get your MP on side, it puts more pressure on the scammer.

    Parliament is well aware of the MO of these private parking companies, and on 15th March 2019 a Bill was enacted to curb the excesses of these shysters. 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.

    I was wondering whether I could consider adding to the defence about the wording on the signage, as it stated 'enter the registration'. Could I consider this direction to be clear enough that they are asking for the registration of the vehicle in the car park? The ticket did contain details of a registration which belonged to me, just not the vehicle in the car park.
    It is kind of obvious what they mean!

    The defence you found is fine. Stick around and prepare for each stage.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
