    Don't forget to read what the 'other side' has said about the work of the County Court. You can frame any response in light of their approach.

    These are both really useful to read.

    I am glad I waited! Anyone else?

    I'm encouraging everyone with a parking court claim or CCJ case to respond:

    This inquiry is currently accepting evidence

    The committee wants to hear your views. We welcome submissions from anyone with answers to the questions in the call for evidence. You can submit evidence until Wednesday 17 January 2024

    When I responded to the Call for evidence consultation I raised the long-standing problem with pcns/letters sent by PPCs which motorists do not receive, how this affects their well being/finances and the complete inaction by industry's PPCs and ATAs to investigate and address the problem.

    I noticed an online petition on this very issue has been started if anyone wishes to support and sign it as I did.

    Require communications from Private Parking companies to be traceable/trackable

    I know some people think petitions are a waste of time. I just see them as another avenue to communicate with gov/MPs, an opportunity to raise or keep raising an issue you feel needs addressed.
    Petition open for 6mths closes 22nd June 2024
    Good spot.

    I mentioned this as well in the initial public consultation; "that PPCs must retain proof of posting and provide it during the appeals and/or court process".

    If the petition gathers a large amount of signings it would give further support that this ongoing problem still concerns motorists and needs addressed with the  suggested measures by the DLUHC... since the parking industry won't address it.

    Thanks for listing it. I have signed it but it really needs a big push to get anywhere. I do think this is a crucial part of stopping some of the worst practices of rogue companies.

    Call me a cynic ( guilty ) but I think the non posting or late posting of documents is all part of the deliberate ratcheting up of pressure on victims, many of them vulnerable

  • This is a Royal Mail issue, and affects all industries including the Police, Local Authority’s and the courts; therefore, the Gov will not single out an individual industry.

    Then the PPCs can actually show proof of posting. Wonder why they don't???

    In any case, In my opinion the 'Royal Mail' excuse just does not wash with the numbers of documents affected, particularly with those that arrive nearly a month late. I have personal experience of that
