Thank you again, I really do appreciate your help. I have quite
a large subscriber base on my YouTube channel and will
definitely make sure to direct them to this site should they
need motoring legal assistance.
:)
I only raised the issue of harassment initially to highlight
that, if they persisted, they would be exposing themselves to a
completely different set of legal problems far beyond the
relatively minor matter of parking offences.
It seems, however, from your precis of their business model that
they'd remain indifferent :)

Just to be clear, getting a Parking Charge Notice (PCN),
reminder letters or even debt collector letters is not
harassment. That is simply the standard sequence these companies
use when they think money is owed.
Harassment in law is a very high threshold. You need a course of
conduct that is genuinely oppressive, unreasonable and targeted,
to the point where it would cause a reasonable person serious
alarm or distress. A routine chain of automated letters about a
disputed parking charge almost never comes close to meeting that
test.
That’s why threatening a parking company with a harassment claim
is not realistic. It is extremely unlikely to succeed, and it
can undermine your credibility if the matter ever reached a
court.
It is always better to concentrate on the substantive arguments
that actually matter – PoFA compliance, signage, landowner
authority, byelaws and so on – rather than trying to turn
ordinary correspondence into something the law would never
recognise as harassment.

Consider that these unregulated private parking firms issue over
40,000 PCNs every single day of the year, you can be sure that
your subscriber base will likely have quite a few prospective
future visitors for us here.

So some closure on this, I received an email today from a PA at
Practice Plus Group explaining the situation there (apparently
they had to employ ParkingEye due to commuters from the adjacent
business park abusing the parking facilities) and requesting
details of my appointment.
Within ten minutes of providing that information I received an
email telling me the charge had been cancelled.
So route 1 is definitely contacting the landowner and asking
them to call their hounds off.
Thank you for your time with this, I am due to retire in the new
year and will have plenty of free time on my hands.....I might
start swatting up on something specialist like private parking
regs so that I can give something back to this forum.

I think most of us are retired and use up spare time by advising
here. You are welcome to assist. We are not even dealing with
the tip of the iceberg. These unregulated private firms issue
over 40,000 PCNs every single day of the year.

I am sure that your time and input will be most welcome. There
are only relatively few posters providing help here, not least
[member=26]b789[/member] of course. The rest of us try and do
what we can.

Your input would be most welcomed!
One piece of advice I would give to a would-be advice-giver is
to know the limits of your knowledge, which will of course grow
with time, and make those limits clear to those you are
advising, seeking clarification if you are unsure. Incorrect
advice delivered confidently can be a dangerous thing (look at
the Freemen on the Land movement for a prime example, and some
light relief).

If you start advising on the private parking regs, expect to be
asked to leave - there aren't any yet (mostly).
To add to DWMB2's comments, I would add that whilst seeking
knowledge is admirable, if you feel that you need to ask
questions, start a thread in the Flame Pit (possibly including a
link to the post that prompted your question for context),
rather than hijacking someone else's case thread). This applies
to everyone.
