I have received a CNBC claim issued 11 September 2026. Claimant is ParkingEye and DCB Legal (our favourite) are acting. I intend to defend the whole claim and will complete the AOS on/after day 5. The alleged event was 26/05/2024 (!!!!) at Cambridge Retail Park. ParkingEye's PCN recorded ANPR entry/exit totalling 4h24m…

Hi everyone, would I be able to get some advice regarding these tickets from Horizon Parking please? Any time either myself or a support worker has tried to appeal, they immediately state that nothing was scanned therefore the parking ticket will be issued.

Hi everyone, I’ve been reading through lots of threads here regarding APCOA and Manchester Airport drop-off zone PCNs, where the standard advice is to appeal strictly as the registered keeper using the "non-relevant land / airport byelaws / no PoFA 2012 liability" template.

Millions have used our Car Finance Free Reclaim tool and, in March, the financial regulator finally announced a mass redress scheme... Then it all stopped as one small consumer firm and three car finance firms took the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)'s scheme to court. This week we're expected to hear whether the court…

Anyone else doing these? Currently I qualify for 600 points or £6 in vouchers. If I spend £44 on certain items in the next two weeks, this increases to 2950 points or £29.50 in vouchers. As I have two easyJet holidays to pay for this means I get £59 off. I'm sure I could get even more. I haven't actually bought anything I…

Hi Apologies for posting so soon after my last thread. That had a lot of questions which have either been answered or ended up irrelevant. I'm now left with one old and one new question, as per the title. There are many warnings not to put the ARN on any of the address lines. I can't put it anywhere else on the online…

We viewed 17 flats in just under three weeks and have pretty much narrowed it down to 2 or 3 of them. The two currently in contention are what we need help deciding between. I have…

Just to clarify the business service I'm using; as a non-vat registered company I save at least 20% VAT plus some further discount for using the Universal Service Obligation (USO) PPI which is code BPL or UNH in the case of large letters. This service once called PPI has a simple bar code and not the 3D tracked type. This…

My wife has a PayPal account that has been inactive for 3 years and had an email saying that it was going to be cancelled. That's a good thing.
