Thank you both @Coupon-mad and @Gr1pr. Have sent the defence now after simplifying paragraph 3. Will wait and see.

But while you wait:

Want to help change the law? Pleeease come back in 2 weeks when we be further discussing the Public Consultation that we need ALL defendants to respond to.

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 NOW that:

a) you have no faith in POPLA or the IAS and that there must be the SINGLE APPEALS SERVICE that the Parking (Code of Practice) Act 2019 *almost* promised. As long as it is independent (and only ONE appeals service, not two involved in a race to the bottom) that will give a real option to resolve disputed cases out of court.

b).  THAT THE ENRICHMENT OF 'DEBT RECOVERY FEES' MUST BE COMPLETELY BANNED. DISPUTED CASES ARE NOT SOLVED BY DEMANDING MORE MONEY AND ENGINEERING A 'PAYMENT PLAN'.

c). Tell them about your experience.

Responses are invited to the Consultation now:

We will discuss it on that thread.
