    If you won't read the NEWBIES thread nor the CST Law group thread already linked for you, then you will learn nothing.

    WE WILL NOT LINK THE NEWBIES THREAD. IT IS TWO CLICKS BACK!

    See my signature for why you don't need a link...there is a breadcrumb trail at the top of every page if not on a teeny weeny phone screen, which is no way to read this forum.

    If you're not prepared to put in the legwork to prevent a scam rinsing you, just for you to save a bit of your hard-earned, enter a dialogue with them to see if you can negotiate a lower amount. Don't ask, don't get.

    But you're going to have to show more resilience than you have so far to avoid total capitulation. 

    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.

    Rip off Britain is hilariously weak isn't it, they just report:

    1. ''This scam happened''

    2. ''Here's the story of how our viewer fell for it and paid''

    3.  Conclusion:  ''Oh dear...next!''

    Yes it is but it hits millions.   Just one of the only progs I watch on the BBC.  

    BBC 'terrifies' the elderly with 'threatening' licence fee letters warning viewers of a £1,000 fine if they do not stump up the £157.50-a-year cost

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8859237/BBC-terrifies-elderly-threatening-licence-fee-letters-warning-viewers-1-000-fine.html

    Don't we already know of legals  who hate humans ???

    Boris has a lot of work to do to prove he is a good guy.   Doubt he can do do this with his time left

    On the BBC tonight ... The Sheriffs are coming .... how belligerent in covid times.  A new boss at the BBC, a new idiot, no wonder Netflix takes the viewers away .....  when the BBC shows cr*p, time for Netflix

    You think Boris doesn't have much time left?  Hopefully he has more time than Trump!

    Maybe you and I need to avoid politics as a subject!

    I agree, no politics here. However it really is up to the government to destroy the parking scammers. Trump ??? who knows, his golf course and hotels in the UK, The Donald could be in your town soon
