Only a few days left to take action

Quite a long series of questions but well worth doing.

I have reminded Mrs May.  I have asked if Robert Jenrick has replied ?

I also pointed out that in her constituency there are many parking operators who attack her voters every day

Maybe I am doing something wrong but I can’t get on the thread for this ?

This IS the thread.

You need to go back to page 1 of this 20-page thread, and all the links are in the first post. If you're trying to do this on a mobile phone, I don't think that will work very well, you need to be on a laptop.

It seems pointless having car parks where there is payment by app when drivers cannot get a signal.

I imagine the operator knows that 

A very valid point and also to add for those writing to their MP

Really good point which I have just added to my ever growing list of things to include in my letter to my MP!  

So many private car parks use different parking apps.  Often you cannot get a signal, yet there is no alternative means of payment.  Also, I don't want to transfer my credit card details across a potentially unsecure network.

Our local railway station car park has just gone down this route and removed all the credit card and cash options.

Councils are no better.  I have 6 different apps for paying Council car parking.

Do we know if it's midnight on Friday 27th that it closes?

No. It closes at 12:00 NOON on Friday.

I have been helping family members fight 5 parking charges issued between 2015 and 2019, all of which are still live. Three MP’s have been contacted and provided with a chronological account of each case; three family members have also submitted individual online surveys.
As all the cases are still live, sending in actual evidence would identify the defendants. Would redacted documents be deemed “supporting evidence” ?

I have just done mine.  Was a good experience to vent my frustrations.

My main concerns are Debt firms NEED regulation, unlawful Double recovery must stop, the aggressively worded  misleading quoting of Beavis etc .

Also an independent body is needed because the BPA, Popla, IPC are pointless- they are nothing more than a one sided members club kangaroo court!

Plus discretion, common sense and proportionality are needed. As is accountability and transparency which there is zilch of!

I've forwarded the link onto other people o know why how fell victim to this predatory "industry".
