Second question, show us a redacted pic of both pages, leaving dates visible please, just redact your name & address and the PCN number. If you;d rather do that by pm then send me a Dropbox link to look at, both...

    [Brighton] Brighton Cat Killer Freak Jailed

    Quite a lot of psychopathic serial killers are reported as having a background of killing animals first. Wonder what he will do once released.

    [Help] Parking charge - for practising manoeuvres

    That is true and is part of the new statutory Code of Practice that the Government has drafted with the help of stakeholders, including consumer representatives. However, this OP needs none of that and will win by appealing as keeper, as everyone can v APCOA and/or where the car park is a...

    [Help] Parking charge - for practising manoeuvres

    So that was One Parking Solution Ltd at the entrapment zone roadway at Broadwater Street West. Well known 'scam' site and not one to pay, OPS being the local pariah parking firm in Sussex, as discussed many a time. The signage there isn't facing outwards and they film people covertly by CCTV...

    [Sussex] One Parking Solution warned by a Judge that they may face a civil restraint order

    Most comments in the Argus article are from people who are not the biggest fans of these ex-clampers (they used to be called 'Ethical' Parking). Also, clearly it's not just Sussex that has issues with OPS...

    [Sussex] One Parking Solution warned by a Judge that they may face a civil restraint order

    Latest update, I wasn't involved in the hearings at this later stage but the Claimants appointed a top barrister on appeal and steamrollered the first judgment, and she has to pick up half their costs, which were enormous...

    Line of Duty

    I reckon it's Steve. Hope not but I decided that yesterday because he's the only one who knew that Jimmy Lakewell had spoken out in the van.

    [Travel] Bailif advice needed

    That's a description of a private parking company's operation in a retail park. They use and abuse ANPR and you are best not saying who was driving in any appeal because lots of the firms choose not to use the wording that they could use, to hold the registered keeper liable (e.g. Tesco's...

    [Travel] Bailif advice needed

    You don't get a CCJ from Local Authority PCNs.

    [Travel] Bailif advice needed

    Why? I used to post on pepipoo when I had time, and HC Andersen and Neil B are VERY knowledgeable regulars there who are giving their views and asking questions... Yet the OP appears to have only read what cp8759 said...I've never heard of him, or can't remember him anyway. Why stop at the...

    [Travel] Bailif advice needed

    No they won't and it doesn't necessarily sound like a scam. Any delay, if this relates to a Local Authority PCN, can see the bailiff return and clamp/remove the car, which is allowed under the rules that Council 'decriminalised' parking enforcement works to at the very late stage that this one...

    [Travel] Bailif advice needed

    Yes, they can. But there is a process to rewind this if the OP acts quickly and gets advice from pepipoo forum.

    [Travel] Bailif advice needed

    Your situation means you have to submit an Out-of-Time Witness Statement, (or Statutory Declaration depending on what the original PCN was issued for). There is a process where you urgently fill out some forms (TE7 and TE9 I think...but pepipoo will know) and send them to the Traffic...

    [TV] ‘Grace’ locations

    What a weak plot it was, and some horrific casting such as the complete lack of any chemistry between the two baddies who were meant to have been an item for years. Worth watching for the Brighton locations and as long as you don't mind a cliche'd plot with too many twists. It just got a bit...

    [Misc] GDPR Question

    This ^^^ It seems excessive to keep the actual passport image and I would object and exercise your right to be forgotten and tell them to 'erase' the image. It is important that firms do not excessively retain data that they do not need. The other companies' policies are correct IMHO. This...

    [Finance] I'm never going to buy my own house am I?

    Do you have someone in the family who could join as guarantor or a third borrower, to make the lenders see you all as a decent bet? Some lenders will accept third and fourth applicants if they are close family members. Years ago I used to be a mortgage manager and it was only by knowing the...

    [Help] Return to Uni in lockdown?

    My youngest went back to his shared flat before lockdown even though it's not a million miles away from the family home. I think it's good for them to be back in the accommodation that they are paying for, even if the lectures and work (such as it is) are sparse and remotely-run at the...

    [TV] Pauline Quirke

    Wow, I'd forgotten how crap that 'show' was! It's not even worth looking at for the nostalgia.

    [Help] Parking fine advice required

    Don't try to make any argument about 'no loss'. The Supreme Court kicked that argument into touch in 2015 in ParkingEye v Beavis, considered a travesty of a decision that has partly been responsible for the feeding frenzy that followed and swamped consumers and the courts, with over 110,000...

    [Help] Parking fine advice required

    No-one here is that stupid and more and more people are becoming aware that these are not fines and that there is no risk but they should not ignore them. People wouldn't part with around £270 because they get a civil county court claim from a local parking firm (considered by many to be a...
