The parking company can't be blamed if some idiot from the council came along and plonked a pavement over perfectly kosher (albeit slightly wobbly) yellow lines!

Originally posted by NorthWestPerm2Contr View PostLast June I got a lovely parking invoice in the post. Normally I deal with these in the usual way - appeal process or ignore depending on the company. This one was different. My car was actually parked somewhere totally legitimate. It was parked in exactly the same place as where this victim won his case against the fraudsters:
To make things more interesting I opened up a straight forwards case against them for breach of the DPA claiming an additional £750.
Total expected windfall for the 2 cases: £1250.
On top of that I'm looking at an additional case to take them down properly.
This has nothing to do with money and everything to do with taking down these buggers! All the formal documents and case details are available on the consumer action group forum.
Firstly, if you look on Google Street View you can see that nearby there are sufficient signs marked “Controlled Zone 8am to 8pm” That alone is enough to tell you that there no de-restricted parking places.
Secondly, you have parked opposite centre hazard lines approaching a road junction. That in itself is sufficient to issue a ticket for obstruction.

Otherwise you would have realised that they have lost almost all of their cases so far. They only won when the defendant didn't bring about the correct points.Comment

Sadly it wasn't a traffic warden who did so but a private company trying to make money out of it.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
