    No I didn’t even send the WS. I planned to do it on the 27th.

    Well done for winning.  And...please don't leave us yet!

    We need you - as a genuine PPC victim of aggression, sharp practice and an 'extortion' attempt to add £70 - to respond robustly to the Public Consultation on the level of parking charges and banning of the false added DRA 'fee' that too many honest motorists currently fall victim to.

    It will need consumer input (powerful voices) but change is afoot. It's taken about 5 years to get to this stage:

    And then the industry threw victims' money at it and blocked and delayed it - explained here:

    Please now Bookmark BOTH threads and set up email alerts on your posting profile, so that you get an email alert when we post there, as we will, once the Public Consultation opens - anticipated in a month or so.

    We need people like you and your driving family & friends to respond in high numbers! You have a personal story to tell about the culture of getting a roboclaim 'legal' firm to add a pointless £70 for their own profit, to be let loose to intimidate people.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    OK, got it. 👍
    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.

    Checking it out. Dodging on and off the forum as major daily power cuts 🇿🇦 screw up everything!
