    Not really, it was just emails and letters back and forth in one PDF. I guess, it's more useful for those who end up in courts as one can then know exactly what they had said.

    I am glad you came back now because we need you.


    GET ANGRY and GET EVEN about this scam!   Please now make a real difference:

    A TASK FOR SEPTEMBER:

    The Government is (this month only) consulting about a new statutory code of practice (CoP) and framework to rein in the rogue parking firms.  Read and comment on the draft CoP proposal and the enforcement framework consultation, and get everyone you know to do the same.

    You will need to register to comment on the CoP and enter an occupation even if you are retired or a homemaker, but otherwise it is easy to navigate, and comment upon each section/subsection individually. You can save comments to edit later and or submit comments once you are happy with them.

    https://standardsdevelopment.bsigroup.com/projects/2020-00193#/section

    You do not need to register to comment on the enforcement framework which can be found here. It has a link on page 5 to make comments.

    https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/913272/Code_Enforcement_Framework_consultation.pdf

    At the very least, we say the parking charge level should be £50/£25 or higher level £70/£35, as per Council PCNs in E&W.  

    And we say the added fake 'debt recovery' costs are just double counting the cost of letters, and MUST GO because that is unfair and illegal.

    Please be heard.  You can bet the hundreds of PPCs will be commenting.

    No apologies for repeating this vital 'call for action' to consumers, on every thread this month!

  • Well, 7 months and still nothing.
    Is it now safe to say 'case closed' ?

    No. They have six years in which to start a court case.

    Have you checked the current status of the PCN on the PE website?
    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.

    Check the date of the incident , add 6 years to the year , that new date is the date to get past , the 6 years to enforce the alleged debt in a court of law , until then , it's not newsworthy unless a Court claim pack arrives from the CCBC in Northampton
