    My local MP has contacted UKPS and they have responded saying they will not cancel or stop court proceedings. So MP office closing this and accepting it despite all concerns raised. I have asked if they can raise the concerns with the IPC so await their response. Extremely disappointed.

    I sent my response to moorside legal's LOC on 6th July but no response as yet. (Sent to their email). I thought they should respond within 30days when information is requested?

    Anyhoo will await further correspondence re court and prepare my defence.

    Yep. Can you show us the refusal UKPS sent to your MP, please?

    Not sure what the MP sent to them, but I did detail a full complaint to the MP about all the identified issues with signs/ANPR etc...

    Stroppy, aren't they?!

    But I reckon they (in fact Moorside) might well discontinue, so carry on. Defended cases are likely to be discontinued.

    They AREN'T looking to go as far as hearings; they are copying DCB Legal's intimidation model with scattergun claims. It works for them. Makes them lots of money when people pay out of fear.

    While your case is quiet, we kindly ask you to take time to respond to the Public Consultation which is now open for August.

    What parking operators do is is a national disgrace and a drain on Society, in terms of money and anxiety.

    If you want to be part of the push to change things in future, it's very important that people like you tell the Government about your experience and the complete and utter waste of court resources caused on a grand scale by third party leech 'ambulance-chasing-style' law firms like Moorside.

    Responses are invited to the Consultation now:

    Do it this month pleeease!

    We will discuss it further next week on that thread if you want ideas.

    Yes of course I will!! Im already following all the posts/threads 😊

    The MP has come back and said she is happy to write to the IPC if I provide consent. 

    @Coupon-mad do you think this would be helpful?

    Yes, all complaints are worthwhile, but they will be fobbed off.

    IPC have responded to my MP and said they are investigating the complaint. They said as it is complex it will take a few days to look into. Still not hopeful but if they dont do anything at least its further evidence the whole system is wrong.

    Exactly. Good effort with the MP complaint.

    The Government Consultation (that I mentioned in August) has less than 2 weeks left now and I've added guidance to make the survey easier, if you agree with our stance:

    FIGHTBACK ALERT:

    Please do the government's Public Consultation. We need every poster to complete this vital survey before the deadline.

    See this thread:

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6617396/parking-code-of-practice-consultation-now-extended-closes-friday-26th-september/p1

    We understand that you may need some pointers. It looks laborious, we get that. It doesn't matter; no knowledge is needed except re your own experiences so you can call out a scam industry and you'll protect millions of motorists and help change the law. 

    I've written some guidance to help focus new posters on the issues. I've covered almost every question, providing ideas if you agree with our stance on things like DRFs, which we say must be banned.

    Ordinary people like you are falling victim to this scam 15 million times per annum. Motorists need your voice added please.

    CLOSES ON FRIDAY 26th SEPTEMBER.
