    You made one up!  I was scratching my head...
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

  • You made one up!  I was scratching my head...
     :D sorry about that. 

    Ok so I better get working on my defence, read and re-read the previous posts and pinned posts, go take photos of signage etc. Any quick tips on common pitfalls for UKPC and QDR?

    Signage for UKPC is terrible unless you carry binoculars with you

    The sign below is typical of UKPC signs ... but do take your own pictures if you can

    QDR will have added a fake amount (£60-70) WHICH GOVERNMENT HAS BANNED
    Goverment has requested that the parking industry follows the spirit of the law.
    QDR is an offshoot of Wright Hassall solicitors ARE NOT DOING THIS ?

    They will need to explain to a Judge why they add an amount which is BANNED


  • Thank you very much patient_dream, that's great. I'll concentrate on those points in my defence

    Im not great at detail.  

    In matters such as this it is essential.  Have you complained to your MP?  Have you seen this?

    I haven't complained to my MP, is that worth doing? I'll take a look at the link now. Thank you.

    yes, it is. 
    I'm not great at detail.
    Can I change the title of the original post. Are they 2 different companies or have I just made one up?
    On any of your posts, can you see a small gear wheel on the blue bar above it?  If so, click on that and you will see another option to "edit".  If not you will need a few more posts and a bit more time under your belt.
