    Could you show the whole PCN including the dates please (cover your VRM and your name/address).

    Interested to get an evidence pic of a PCN at a rate of only £50/£25.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    By the way, I was wondering about the 60 pound difference between their Letter Before Claim (£120) and PCN(£60 after 28 days), is this the same "extra 60 pounds" that many others have mentioned in this forum?

    Across the piece, figures are 'invented' as things progress, often having little correlation or explanation. Attempting to determine what is what is like trying to nail a jelly to a wall - little point in trying!  Not sure what 'PCBN' is, not an acronym I recognise. 
    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.

    Yes it is.  Unrecoverable extortion IMHO.

    Thankyou for that evidence. Could be very useful!

    I see this is Willen Lake where Napier used to bother people before their contract wasn't renewed.

    Yes Willen Lake indeed 🙂. I really like the place.  We have been there a few times. It is a shame they have got this crazy company to manage their parking. But then I guess probably all private parking companies use similar tactics.

    FAR better than Napier!  Unlikely to sue and only £50/£25. 

    They are all about to be regulated by Government (by 2024).
