Sorry but whilst i can see you won, and understand your sentiment
None of what you are doing will have any effect. Nothing will change, the airport or petrol station wont get rid of VCS, the IPC will put your letter in the bin
VCS will simply put your letter in the shredder, none of this lot are going to take any notice

Double red lines do have that meaning on the pubic highway in a 'red route'. Trouble is, parking firms misuse double yellows and make up their own meanings, so painting double reds on private land is also down to the whim of the parking firm as to what these lines mean.
Having said that, IMHO double reds have a clear meaning. But that's just me.
Double yellows are the real problem, as the meaning PPCs put upon them is not the proper meaning of those lines on roads and they allow no exemptions at all.
Good shout by Half_way here; go for the Organ Grinder, not the monkey:My whole take on this situation is that while it may seem obvious to go for VCS, the real target should be the airport and/or the petrol station for allowing VCS to operate.
As principal they are liable for the actions of their agents ( VCS)
and if there is a GDPR issue/breach then there could be an issue of personal liability- not sure how realistic this would be, however the head of operations at EMA/the petrol station ( or whoever signed off on allowing the PPC to operate) having some personal liability in this could serve as a wake up call.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

The real ‘organ grinder’ is the DVLA. Without access to the database, the scammers (IPC and their members) have nothing.0

Admire the resolve. I'm sure all of us will be overjoyed should you report success. Power to your elbow, keep us in the loop.Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .
