    Great to hear you beat the bullies. Pity you didn't get your costs.
    Thank you! At this point the costs would've been nothing more than a bonus. In terms of time spent I'd have been better off just paying them. It's not really what it's about though is it?

    I did find the hearing to be a very uncomfortable experience. Don't think I'd want to go that far again.

    I get that.

    No-one asks to be subjected to this stress.

    The parking industry is ruining retail parks, other businesses and housing estates that are meant to be 'affordable' for residents. Instead they get rinsed.  PPC World and their greedy 'barely-legals' are wrecking motorists' peace of mind and plans, with CCJs causing financial devastation for far too many victims.

    Even when you win - like you - it's worrying and uncomfortable.  There are better ways to spend a day!
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
