Title: Parking charge result
Post by: MR MISTER on 22 November 2013, 15:39:45
Very briefly: I parked in a council car park last week and the machine did not issue a ticket when I paid. This was witnessed by a young lady driving an Audi Q. I wrote a short note and put it in my car but, of course, got a SCN (£45).The Audi was still there so I put a note under her wiper asking her to ring me. She did ring and said she was willing to speak to the council to say what she had witnessed.
I appealed, enclosing a copy of the note I left and the good lady's contact details. Just got a letter saying the appeal had been allowed but don't do it again you naughty boy. Yea..... :)

We buy any car offered me £105 for my Omega recently, but when I offer it to them again next year they will still give me £105! Not bad!!  ;)

When you try your Daewoo this time next year you'll get offered about £4800.... Ouch!!  ::)

You should know by now, to ignore pcn's issued by private companies, you'll get lots of threatening letters, but they won't take you to court, as they threaten they will  ::) ;)

Honest John (motoring section) in the Telegraph reckons just to send them a cheque for a tenner, beacause if they cash the cheque, they have accepted payment from you (obviously include a letter stating that the pcn is way too much and heres your offer)....but i reckon thats too much  ;D
