    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 in some cases, cancellation. 

    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,

    Just as the clampers were finally closed down, so hopefully will many 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.

    Hi, I have used the search function and only got bits of info I need and the newbie thread just takes you to a page to raise your own thread....
    This is the same as the case posted just days ago about the person who got 30 such letters.  Please read the forum & find that one, and read it/bookmark it.
    That thread has been deleted, presumably by the OP.

    Confirmed on another thread but will add here too. Complained to Ceo, got a call very next day, i made my case pretty well but no matter what you say they won't do anything. I sent a letter to SCBL denying the charge and said any further letters will be harassment. Hopefully I don't hear from these scum or others like them again

    Send me a pm if you haven't already, I'm planning on writing a template and replying to several people at once to get Tesco to take this seriously.  They need to...disaster lies ahead if they let customers and staff get sued, like the Co-op did.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
