    AND - get ANGRY and GET EVEN about this scam!   


    Please now make a real difference: grace periods are up for discussion (have your say!) and so is the £100 rip off parking charge (this forum believes that it should be £50/£25, like with Councils).


    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.

    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!


    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    If you need some specialist help with your case, please firstly read the NEWBIES FAQ sticky, second post, as that will give you a road map from start to finish of your court case. 

    But as you're now at the business end of this you cannot afford any slip ups so after reading the above, please open a new thread of your own, with some background details (do not identify the driver in whatever you type) especially the date of issue shown on your N1 claim form and @KeithP will get you on the right lines as far as your timetable and actions are concerned. 

    There's help at hand. 
    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.
