This is about forming a contract, which means reading the sign fully rather than a quick readout of a number plate.

Erm, how does a pic of your car entering and exit a) prove that you parked there, and b) prove a contract exists? If you reply you go up in their "reply-to" list - to quote Bama - they will see you as "a hooked fish" and try and play you. Don't bother replying except to the DCA letters.

Why are you bothering to waste your time, money and efforts on letters if you aren't going to pay anyway?

You can withdraw the implied right of access to anyone you wish, ie, not allow the postman to come up your drive, and if he did it would be civil trespass.

You're not going to pay or reply to them so why does it matter?

The question you should be asking is, do THEY have a leg to stand on, and the answer is of course NO.

FYI Clamping is illegal in Scotland...

You would be innocent until such point as they took you to court and proved you guilty/liable of using gas without payment, ie breach of contract.

He never said anything of the sort, Neil rightly claimed under British law you are innocent until proven guilty - the Human rights act ensures this.

Now we get to the crux of the matter. There are no cases of losing PPCs where the defendant has a used a proper defence because: The only cases won by PPCs have been improper defences, and If they suspect there will be a proper defence, they play the %age game and decide not to turn up in court.

The real question is, what is the Scottish equivalent of s40 of the Administration of Justice Act 1970, so that you can report this lot to the police.....

I advise you tell them you've never had anything from BPM and tell the DCA to refer it back to BPM. Don't worry about the debt register or whatever, you can't go on there (if it exists?) unless: They take you to court You somehow fail to win (which won't happen because if you get taken to court you will come on here again, and also go to pepipoo.com and let us know, whereupon you will be bestowed with legal advice for everything you need to do) You then do not pay the money as instructed by the court, only then can a CCJ be issued. Don't worry! Remember, it would be up to THEM to prove their signs were correct when you parked, and even then, £345 IN NO WAY WHATSOEVER represents their losses for you having overstayed!!!

Just wait until you get handed the £100 pink one for sitting outside!

I am not a law student, but the reason they would say "civil proceedings" is because the shop cannot commence crimical proceedings , and therefore to retrieve the monetary value lost from the act of theft they would need to commence proceedings in the civil courts.

One is employed by the council, the the other the police. They do different jobs as well, while a PA will tickets vehicles to try and meet targets and increase revenue, a TW will try to keep the traffic flowing by speaking to drivers, generally being nicer, and also can direct traffic etc.

The councils must use discretion when issuing tickets... However you're assertion that adjudicators are acting unlawfully is true in ALL cases as they blatantly breach your right to a fair trial under the Human Rights Act.

Really? So why have they contacted you, the registered keeper then? Absolute bull****. 4 words: See you in court.

Trever00, Tell the debt collection agency the debt is in dispute with Trustguard. Then write to Trustguard with 4 words: See you in court.
