    Did you get your defence in?

    I am referring this case to the BPA because Sara Roberts (Head of Parking On Private Land) said this about another 5 minute rule claim this month:

    "Civil Enforcement Limited note that despite their usual checks this case inadvertently progressed.They have a manual checking procedure to ensure that claims are not issued for parking charges that fall under the V1.1 of the sector single Code of Practice."

    They failed with you, too!

    Send me a pm and I'll put you in touch with Sara at the BPA to intervene. I've already prepared an email to alert her and the MHCLG to your case.
