    Yes if you are choosing not to add any facts.

  • Where / how do I word the facts?

    Despite the date being over five years ago, I recall tl to the best of my knowledge, I was there as a visitor of a resident and displayed a visitors permit visible in the front windscreen. There were no clear bay markings, only cobbled paving. It was late in the evening in January so was poorly lit also. Signage and parking bays were not obvious or well lit.

    So that's what you should have added!

    How does the judge know that if you don't include it in your defence? Not that you'll actually have a hearing because DCB Legal will discontinue just before.

    Correct,  or offer £5 , then £10 etc, but no big offers,  or offer nothing,  see them in court   ( but they will more likely discontinue next year   )

    Yep or a fiver. You don't have to explain your defence. They are not a judge. DO NOT BE PRESSURED BY THE MEDIATOR.

    Then while your case is quiet:

    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.
