    You have taken this upon yourselves to help people without profit,
    Often without any feedback either. Thanks for getting back, I'd just about given up on hearing anything further from you. 

    Tread carefully in any private car park, they're just waiting for you! 😊
    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.

    I have actually had to take a day off work...

    In fact, the person who advised me to counter claim was someone you helped in this forum who counter claimed Gladstone brooks and was awarded £500
    Gladstone Brooks??

    You been watching too much daytime television on your day off? :D
    IMO, I think even Gladstone Brooks are more reputable than Gladstones (aka Gladrags on here)...

    Mind you, I'm now glad that the PPI reclaim deadline has passed and there are no more of those annoying PPI reclaim company ads on the TV, radio and internet.

    At least until the next mis-selling thing comes along - there's always another one of these...
  • Hi, I've trawled the site for hours now, read the newbies section, post#4 and yes I get why you don't want more and more posts of the same.
    So, based on the advice you have given, I haven't started a new thread, I am posting in a thread with a similar case to mine, as you suggest.

    I've read on here countless times that if I get letters from QDR or ZZPS i should just ignore them and let the letters stack up, as they have no means of actioning anything.

    What that bit of advice is not taking into account is that there is still possible court cases that have to be then prepared for. This is worrying, especially when I see on here that there are cases where people have indeed let the letters stack up, and then seem not to have a case in court. Like someone who parked in a disbaled bay who now can't prove if the signage was inadequate. And the advise from experienced ppl on the forum is 'sorry, the judge won't like that' or words to that effect.

    So how can I just simply ignore these letters?
    I can only do that if I know I have some sound footing to defend a case on.

    So this is why, God forbid, I am annoying you with yet another question that appears to be the same:

    The question:

    Where do you stand if you did not know about this forum at the time of receiving the fine, and replied with an appeal (to UKPC) more or less saying you were the driver, giving your details, and posting photos of the car park in question, trying to point out that there was insufficient signage as far as I knew? I have admitted being there and not having a paid ticket in my windscreen, and said that once I was in the car park I was there shopping as a local resident (all true) but not known it was a pay and display.
    They have of course rejected the appeal and asked me to pay up.
    Ignored all following letters from them and ZZPS, the latest one is QDR with a 14 days notice to pay.

    YES i have read to ignore. YES I have read that 14 days warning is inappropriate. YES I have read that they are adding on unnecessary charges and YES I have seen the section in how to defend them doing that.
    What I DON'T KNOW is if I have harmed my case by admitting to driving the car already through the first appeal, and then whether I am screwed if it goes to court.
    I don't want the stress of court proceedings now knowing if I'm on solid ground.

    Further to that, I do really admore and appreciate all the work going in to help everyone in these cases. But just want to point out that telling people 'just ignore' might not be the best thing. Some cases ARE different? You advise not to admit to being the driver. Well I have, so what now?

    Thanks again
