At first they want to wow you with their service. Once they have your money they simply ignore you when you ask questions. I have to email. Email again and then chase weeks later and basically beg for replies. It’s really upsetting, I personally suffer with anxiety to be ignored by someone you have paid for a service and to also recruit them to help because you’re so overwhelmed and then not get the help
It’s really dissapointing and I wouldn’t use again or recommend

Absolutely appalling service

Absolutely appalling service. I had three different case handlers in the three years legal contestors have been handling my unfair parking ticket after requesting to my third case handler to contact the debt collector company to tell them my change of address this wasn’t done as I was moved to a new case handler shortly after and they did not pass on my information. I ended up not getting any letters missing my court date and getting a CCJ on my account that I only found out about after my credit card. Company contacted me telling me they were reducing my credit currently have a formal complaint with them that I am still waiting for an outcome on. that I only found out about after my credit card. Company contacted me telling me they were reducing my credit currently have a formal complaint with them that I am still waiting for a outcome on as nobody has yet responded as nobody has responded as of yet.

**Outstanding Service from Jackson…

**Outstanding Service from Jackson Yamba**

I’m incredibly grateful for the support I received from Jackson Yamba at Contestor Legal. From the very beginning, Jackson handled my case with professionalism, expertise, and genuine care.

He helped me successfully clear my parking charges, turning what could have been a stressful and frustrating experience into one that was smooth, straightforward, and reassuring. Jackson was always responsive, proactive, and kept me informed every step of the way. He took the time to explain my options clearly, answered my questions promptly, and gave me confidence throughout the entire process.

Thanks to his persistence, knowledge, and dedication, the parking charges were completely resolved with a positive outcome.

I cannot recommend Jackson Yamba and Contestor Legal highly enough. If you're dealing with parking disputes or similar legal matters, you'll be in excellent hands. Outstanding service, exceptional communication, and results that truly exceeded my expectations.

Thank you, Jackson, for your hard work and support. It was greatly appreciated.

Contestor got my case struck out

Contestor got my case struck out before even needing to hear the arguements. If you have a PCN and looking for justice, you want them on your side. They take on the bullies and win. Thank you.

Thanks Contestor Legal & Jackson Yamba

Thank you Contestor Legal, and Jackson Yamba. The disagreement with AF was resolved in a conciliatory manner. You provided clear and pertinent information. The attention to, and understanding of the case is appreciated. Patrick L.

Great service

I would like to sincerely thank Jackson for the outstanding support provided throughout my matter. He has been extremely helpful, consistently responsive, and always clear in their communication. His professionalism, efficiency, and willingness to go the extra mile made the process far less stressful, and I felt well supported at every stage.

I’m absolutely thrilled with the service from Contestor Legal. My case was dismissed today, and I can’t thank Kurtis enough, he was genuinely brilliant, supportive, and incredibly thorough with every detail of my case.

On top of that, I even claimed back my costs. If you truly feel you’ve been treated unfairly, don’t let these parking companies bully or intimidate you. Highly recommend these guys.

My case was quite complex and took some time to resolve, but Jackson handled it with real expertise and professionalism. He understood the issues clearly and dealt with everything thoroughly.

Thanks to his hard work, we won the case and I received a full refund. I’m very grateful and would highly recommend Jackson and Contestor Legal Services.

Excellent and thanks to Contester Legal Service

Thanks to Contestor Legal Services. I had a parking fine from Total Solutions, who took me to court after threatening me with bailiffs. Then, Contestor Legal Services took up my case, MrJackson Yamba (what a fantastic man) was dealing. He assured me throughout the whole legal process. My parking fine was cancelled without paying a single Penny to the parking fine company.

I would rate CLS 11/10, and highly recommend them to anyone having parking parking-related issue

Excellent service

Very pleased with the service I received from contestor legal and Jackson I had a ccj come through from an old parking ticket from 5 years ago. Jackson not only got me a refund but he also helped to have the ccj removed from my credit file. Would highly recommend their services

Best law firm in UK for parking tickets

If you are looking for ANY support at all with regards to UK parking tickets that are issued by the scam artists known as private parking firms then this is the company you need to contact. Contestor Legal, and more specifically Jackson, acts with care and respect and will recover any/all costs that are associated with unfairly issued parking tickets (or in my case- an incorrectly issued CCJ that was on my record).

Contestor successfully got the CCJ set aside and a full refund on all legal costs. Couldn’t have asked for more. Kept me updated at all stages and worked together as a team.

Absolutely useless

Absolutely useless, did nothing, hardwork getting a response from them, they certainly didn’t make it clear that they intended to do nothing until the parking firm started court proceedings! Causing lots of stress and unnecessary concern I just ended up paying the grossly overpriced ticket to avoid a CCJ

This is the 2nd time I have used Contestor and will definitely use again should I need to. This time it was a consumer matter with me as the claimant. The judge had two decisions to rule on but the case was presented in such a way that we won on the first point and the second became null & void. extremely pleased and took away a lot of stress on the day

I paid this company to handle my penalty charges, but unfortunately, they failed to deal with three of them. It has now been nine months, and I’m receiving letters from debt collectors because the penalties were never resolved. I deeply regret using their services — they have been extremely unprofessional, unresponsive, and even threatening at times. I would strongly advise others to avoid this company.

Reply from Contestor Legal Services

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize that your experience with our services did not meet the standards you rightfully expected.

We understand how frustrating and concerning it must be to receive correspondence from debt collectors regarding unresolved penalty charges, especially after entrusting us to handle these matters on your behalf. This outcome is clearly not acceptable, and we take full responsibility for falling short of our commitments to you.

We would very much like the opportunity to investigate what went wrong in your case and work toward a resolution. The issues you've described—particularly regarding responsiveness and professionalism—are not reflective of the service standards we strive to maintain.

Could you please contact our legal team directly at legalteam@contestorlegal.co.uk so we can:

Review the specifics of your case immediately
Understand why these three penalty charges remained unresolved
Take appropriate action to address the outstanding matters
Discuss how we can make this situation right
Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve our services, and we are committed to learning from this experience. We genuinely want to resolve this matter for you and restore your confidence in our ability to deliver the professional service you deserve.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

Sincerely,
Contestor Legal Customer Service Team

I would like to say a massive thank you to Jackson and his team. They took on my case and won. Once again, these Parking Parasite companies have been held to account for their greed and extortion. I would highly recommend getting in touch if you need their very professional services.
