    Or that you disagree with their allegations in the POC and put them to strict proof 

    Dont admit to anything,  dont fill in the holes for them

    Also, defences are written in the third person, so no "I" but "the defendant".

    Thanks, everybody. How about this. Short and sweet:

    The vague allegations in this claim provide no evidence that the defendant has knowingly broken the terms of any contract with the claimant, let alone done anything that justifies the payment of any damages. The defendant regularly pays to use the carpark in question, and, as a customer of the claimant, finds their behaviour vexatious and disproportionate.

    Yep that's OK as paragraph 3. Get it submitted.

    And even though this is stressful: please then do the government's Public Consultation within days (tomorrow?). We need every poster to complete this vital Consultation before the deadline.

    See this thread: -

    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 on that thread. I have 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. Just days to go.

    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
