    That is very sad beamerguy since you are listened to and it will have an impact.  
     ?
    Of course it will not.  But do let us know when you manage to get Hurley locked up ?

    The OP appears to have their own crusade against the IPC which while commendable may not be the right action for newbies. Most posters do not want a personal crusade they just want to get their ticket cancelled. 

    On this forum there is a very successful route to challenging the PPC's claim. CM always advocates trying to get the ticket cancelled by the store/landowner first. This is the easiest route and avoids the driver/keeper from any further action.  Beamer very successfully wrote a letter to the CEO of Marks and Spencer recently which resulted in the ticket being cancelled. 

    Most new posters to this site are here as the result of receiving a ticket (as I was myself). If someone in receipt of a parking ticket complains to the IPC or the BPA then surely they would refer them to the appeals process. As we know with the IPC that is a total waste of time and energy and a bruising experience that I would not want to repeat or wish on anyone else.

    If the complaint is made to the IPC or the BPA where no ticket has been issued I cannot see it carrying much weight at present because the Codes of Practice are not worth the paper that they are written on. They are good practice, nice to do, platitudes. 

    Coming to this forum originally as a newbie with a ticket and not from a legal background I struggled to understand the relevance of the Codes of Practice.  I am from a financial background and the Code of Practice is supported by statute law. 

    My understanding is that the new Code of Practice will be backed by law and so a totally new ball game. Just have to hope that they drain the swamp of people like Hurley.

    Snakes_Belly.  I of course agree with you about newbies but I found this site only after been scammed for a second time.  Getting the charge cancelled is obviously the priority initially but my point is that this will keep happening unless the ATAs and the DVLA are brought to account.

    I do stuff outside of this forum, I dont, however, feel the need to brag about it in a spectacularly unverifiable manner...
    In the absence of evidence (of which you are very fond) I will have to take your word for it. 
    If I do go head to head with WH/JLGD they would do well to have you in their corner.  You will have influenced many victims not to complain.  Bravo.

    But when the new Code of Practice is implemented they will be more accountable if they still exist. Problem is that there have been too many other pressing issues.

    And as has been said, if an ATA FAILS, they are on track for the chop.

    a lot of action is taken by various people who dont report it to the forums as its not needed.  More work against PPC's happens away from forums like this then they do on them

    I’m very aware of the amazing work that goes on BT  - I have contact with C_m.  
    Errrm...do you?  In what way?
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Email originally with a bit of background  - that’s all. Had not have.  It’s clear from the threads the amount of work that goes into preparing for and attending court and I do wonder what people would do without the help.
