Very useful, thank you @Redbread.

Firstly, I'd like to apologise for not keeping this post up-to-date with events.

However, the court hearing was held today and after just 15 minutes it was dismissed on the first point raised! Specifically that I paid for parking by phone so the claimant's point that I paid without displaying a valid ticket/permit was considered invalid. I had a bank statement showing all the dates where I had paid the claimant, it was as simple as that.

My defence had a lot more points though so I'm only slightly disappointed those weren't covered haha.

I would like to thank:

-and all those who developed and added to the Newbies thread for the invaluable help and knowledge to win my defence. Thank you.

I may add a redacted version of my witness statement and evidence, naturally a stolen and reworked version a user had provided here in an existing post but it worked wonders for me in terms of layout and structure.

Well done on your win. 

As a matter of interest even on pay machines Excel have not been issuing tickets on the basis of saving the planet.

Well done, nice to read about a victory.

Yay - great news!  VERY WELL DONE!

ANOTHER EXCEL ONE BITES THE DUST!

Don't disappear just yet.

We need you; motorists need you to help us make a difference forever.  What a waste of your time this was, and why should there be such a litigation culture in parking?   It's truly horrible being pursued for £100 for no reason, by an ex-clamper aggressive firm, isn't it? 

Join us in trying to end the conniving PPC and DRA 'added fees' fuelling the court culture. 

There will be one window of opportunity later this year.  My best guess is in October.

Together, we can stop the rotten parking industry from riding roughshod over the new statutory Code and the charge level caps, and otherwise bullying all motorists forever, using the regulation to gain kudos and status.

If you are not likely to pop back here every week to check, please set up email alerts for this forum and bookmark this thread (below) as we intend that one of us posts on it when the Government opens the Consultation:

https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6333989/mse-parking-ticket-appeals-guide-feedback#latest

Read the latest posts there.

The PPC money-grabbers have blocked the new Code by filing for Judicial Reviews.  Stopped the declared and much welcomed parking code from February 2022, which stated that added £70 false 'DRA fee' extortion was to be banned and that parking levels would start at £50.

It's on hold. Motorists urgently need it reinstated and the ban on false 'DRA fees' confirmed, to stop the rot.

This year will be your chance to make a difference, plus any other drivers you know (family, friends) who are also fed up to the back teeth with the greedy and unscrupulous parking industry and the stranglehold they have on people.

We need high numbers of real victims to make a point of responding to this final Consultation.
