    Nine times out of ten these tickets are scams so consider complaining to your MP.

    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, persistent offenders denied access to the DVLA database and unable to operate.

    Hopefully life will become impossible for the worst of these scammers, but 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.
    You never know how far you can go until you go too far.

    If this is connected to your other posts, this is why the Deep has posted his standard words to you. Also if it is connected to your other posts, you should copy your defence from here into the other one and put a message on here to IGNORE. It is always best to keep to one thread to prevent us having to flitter between different threads and raise the chance of duplication and/or error.

    Sorry I thought I’d start a new thread for defence as I posted Defence on last one aswell but think it got lost as not clear from subject it for a defence. Feel I need some more feedback as not very confident to send it as it is.


    Ok so please IGNORE this thread and original one is on my #2 thread ‘what to do’
    Sorry for confusion
