Can you peel the layers off the doctored image? If so you can use that as proof that the PPC are trying to obtain money by deception, and send complaints to the Trading Standards, IPC, DVLA, and then the ICO, as well as your MP and Michael Gove and Neil O'Brien at the department for levelling up.

I cant peel the layers off as its a flat image but there are certain things to point out. The perspective of the sign is weird and the shadows are iffy. (Plus its not really there ha!).

Will be complaining about it as i have my image to compare

When you say a flat image, do you mean a hard copy? I was referring to layers applied to an electronic image. These should be available on the PPC's website under the PCN number for you to view. Sometimes things added to an electronic image can be peeled off again to see what's underneath, although I'm sure you know it depends on how the doctoring was carried out.

That would be a deception under Sec 2 Chpt 35 Fraud Act 2006 - attempt to obtain a financial advantage by false representation. Report to actionfraud.police.uk immediately. That's what I've done. It is a clear criminal offence.

Definitely Fraud! Probably worth speaking to the media as these clowns aren't the first PPC to act above the law and fabricate evidence.

Looks like we're not going to see the images then!

Hi all - sorry for the delay. Images attached. Ive been back to site and cant even make out where this corner is that they've taken? It may not be photoshopped but the only place I cant drive round to is the service entrance. Obviously I definitely cant drive down there but thats the only place left to check where this is exactly.

At the end of the day - its no where near the gym so why have they used it? This site is huge by the way, the NHS trust are in there etc.

Hi - Has the same happened to you at JD Gyms Edge Lane or have you reported for a different site?

Coupon-mad

His was a different site.

I see what you mean.  The sign is not there!  Add time and date metadata imprints into your photo so it is good to use as evidence.

You saw the news and the thread by bargepole?

@Salmil123 - do what @Coupon-mad advised plus grab a selection of Google Street View images too to back in up and if you can get back there do an in-depth video walk-through covering the whole site so they can't just accuse of being "selective" as they are in their evidence (the ones that they have appeared to have fabricated)!
