tsteve9999 456 Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 I got a parking ticket on Friday when I mistakenly put it face down on my dash. The warden was just putting it on the windscreen when I got back to the van and I showed him it was legal in the vain hope he was vaguely human but all I got was the usual bullshit and told to email the parking office to clear it up. This I did on Monday, giving the 2 ticket reference numbers I can see, the time it was bought and the time it ran out and today I've recieved a letter saying I now need to send a photocopy of the ticket or pay up. So this means I've now got to photocopy the ticket, buy an envelope and stamp and go to the trouble of posting it all off or be faced with a 50 quid penalty if I do as I feel like and tell them to just check themselves and fook off. I hate the robbing, slimy, shitehawks at Walsall Council with a passion, 10 quid for a permit to drop a skip on the street, 50 quid for scaffold, the way working people are indirectly taxed nowadays is a scandal.

stop.end 4,082 Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 parking tickets are a contract....... write on it null and void and send back...... they will send you a few threatening letters like bully's do but just ignore, they soon get the message! the rule to stop all this kind of bullshit is NO COMPLIANCE.... if no one complied there would be no parking tickets...

moxy 617 Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Tell the robbing swines you want a pre paid envelope or put an invoice in with your photocopied ticket for £25 for admin. But write a covering letter explaining your charges. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moxy 617 Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Oh!! And don't forget to date it and state they have 28 days to pay otherwise a reminder will be sent at a further £25 plus interest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But write a covering letter explaining your charges. This is what really pisses me off about the whole thing, I made a mistake by putting it face down but have sent them all the info off the ticket that there is and still it's not enough. They are hoping I've thrown it in which case I'd have no choice but pay. but I've been taken by them before and won't get caught again. I'm not going to send a photocopy though because I don't possess a copier and I'll be f***ed if I'm making a special journey for them. I'll take a photo and send the real thing so then when they say it's not arrived I'll have proof still.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moxy 617 Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 I'm being serious about billing the twats. The wife had her plates cloned and we ended up getting a ticket in Leicester!! For driving in a bus lane. At least two hours away from where I live! It wasn't even our car in the picture. There was very little communicating with Leicester councils parking enforcement. Very rude and snotty. They demanded I sent them a copy of our log book to confirm our vehicle details. They were not willing to check with the dvla as they did in the instance to obtain our name and address to issue the fine. When I did get to speak to someone with a little sense I asked them where my invoice was to be sent to for my time they were wasting and any document I was going to send. They dropped the case. Court proceedings the lot. Parking fines are just legalised daylight robbery. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
