  • This is where I failed, the judge asked what financial loss I had suffered, I had no answer to that and he said what they did was not in his eyes harassment, I disagree but how can I argue, when I have no idea how to, telephone hearings are difficult at best, hard to hear a lot of it and not know if you are supposed to respond or not as you can not see them.

    You didn't fail. It's not easy to take on these companies which is why they make so much money. People just pay up.

    After the hearing many people feel that they just want to draw a line under it. There is nothing wrong with that.

    I have spoken to my friends and family to warn them about the activities of these companies. I will make sure that the younger members of my family are aware of these predators when they start to drive. It really should be part of their test.  

    I have written to my MP. I will comment on the CoP. There is more than one way to hit these companies without the hassle of going through the court process again.   
    Yes, you are right, I did not fail but had hoped to put more of a dent in their bank account. Even so, I bet it pained them to pay out £79 for the day in court I had in March.

    Bullies like to dish it out, but never enjoy a smack on their own snout!
    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.

    Interesting that Will Hurley sees constant contact and the threat of writing to his home address as harassment - whereas I cannot see the difference between that and an obvious deceitful request by a parking company to the DVLA for a keeper’s personal details, followed by the relentless demands for payment.  
    Are you writing to HM Prison Services where Hurley and his little mate Davies belong
