    I deal with stuff like this for my adult child even though she is perfectly capable  - because I have the time and she doesn’t.  Isn’t that what mums do ?

    Me too - it's what Mums do, if you are so minded.  I do all this sort of stuff for my adult kids too - and my niece who is going to have to sue an Airline like I am about to do; I've told her to copy my LBC. 

    I tell them what to put in formal emails all the time, and they are all in their twenties with good degrees and sensible heads on their shoulders.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

     They want £160 but offer a reduction to £128 if paid by the end of May.

    Nine times out of ten these tickets are scams, so consider complaining to your MP, it can cause the scammer extra costs and work, and has been known to get the charge cancelled.


    Parliament is well aware of the MO of these private parking companies, many of whom are former clampers, 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, when life gets back to normal, it will become impossible for those scammers who are left to continue their vile trade, 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.
