    I would say it is good enough if it outlines the issue and answers the POC.   Evidence (photographs if/when you can take them) comes later at witness statement stage.

    Good! Please take time one evening this week to join us in responding to this: FIGHTBACK ALERT - just days to go!

    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 over 18 million times per annum. Motorists need your voice added please.

    CLOSES THIS FRIDAY.

    For ease and inspiration read the Which? response they've just published:

    UPDATE:

    Had the mediation call.

    UKPC offered £200, I countered with £20. They came back with £100, and I said £25, at which they declined.

    So off to court we go.
