Judgement has come from and my appeal on costs failed as it stated they were awarded costs contractually. Be warned if going to court it landed me with £23k bill

From 12 October 2025 the EU will begin rolling out the EES, which will require non-EU travellers (including UK nationals) to provide biometric data (fingerprints + facial image) when entering or exiting Schengen territory....anything that can be done about this or pre-empted, seems this is a drip drip of digital ID being forced upon us...they are apparently also asking for health insurance, so be preped if travelling....I dont think uou need evidence of health insurance, but maybe laminate a CMTM global health care card with and show them that 😁 Seperatly even the 2 million people that registered thier nane and email asdress to petition the digital ID have probably been used to collect that data so the government now know whos opposing it...theyre rolling this out regardless of consent....again, is there any letters of notices that could be preemtively sent to atourney general etc....I seem to remember somewhere here there were templates that should be sent to a few people in government but cannot remember where they are or whether they were in affidavit format and whether this was for biomrtric data or a general removal from juristictuons.....and if not is there an affidavit or similar that can assist in restricting or at least minimising this fast rolling out digital ID tyrany

Hi guys, Just a quick one — I had a bit of a scuffle with the infamous Horizon Parking Ltd. You know, the usual: they tried it on, I pushed back, and this time… I won. I’ll post the correspondence soon (with the sensitive bits redacted, of course), but I wanted to echo something Peter said ages ago — not sure which video, but it stuck with me. It was along the lines of: "We should take the info and attack these bandits from different angles. They’re always trying to plug loopholes in their dodgy practices, so we should be testing new stuff to see what works — build up plenty of attack vectors." So I gave it a go. Armed with intel from the Parking Pirates course and one of the videos about how you literally can't read the signs safely while driving, I skipped the GDPR route and went straight through their official appeals process. My message was basically: "Oi, I can’t read your signs and drive safely — drop the fee." They came back with some waffle about the signs meeting visibility standards. Which is nonsense, because unless you’ve got binoculars and a spare 10 minutes mid-drive, you’re not reading that small print. Then they gave me 14 days to respond — starting from the date the letter was printed, not received. The letter arrived with less than 5 days left on the clock. So I hit back with: "Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, this may constitute an unfair term. You only gave me 5 days to respond, and your countdown started from the moment the letter was printed." Their reply? "Thank you for your recent correspondence regarding the above Parking Charge, which we have reviewed. I can confirm the Parking Charge has now been cancelled and no further action will be taken in this matter." Boom. Two emails. Job done. Big thanks to @Peter Wilson , @Dave DimeBar and others for pointing out the simple stuff that gets results. If they hadn’t backed off, I was ready to go full GDPR, but I wanted to test a quicker route — something that might help others who don’t want to go full legal ninja.

Hi guys, So I have submitted a claim against PRA group and they have of course rejected it. I am now in the process of responding, I have until 8th April to respond. I had been going through the response questions on the gov.uk site and there is a question I am not sure how to answer, choice is "yes" or "no". I am thinking I want to answer "no" so that I can hopefully get a judge to look at this. Any advice? Please see question below. Determination without Hearing Questions Do you consider that this claim is suitable for determination without a hearing, i.e. by a judge reading and considering the case papers, witness statements and other documents filled by the parties, making a decision, and giving a note of reason for that decision?

Ignore the celebrity status; this breakdown of verbal and physical language in a court room may be of interest. It’s important to be aware of our actions in presenting ourselves in calm, confident manner and not reacting. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=abpqCWigLYU Chase Hughes has an interesting back story; the behaviour panels energy feels good to me and I’m a columbo fan 😉
