F'sticks - Parking Charge!

[vwdan]

Sounds like it was 'a fair cop'.

You parked, you didn't buy a ticket, you pay the fine.

Except it's not a fine and they aren't legally entitled to demand such high amounts - so I don't see it as a fair cop at all.

Good luck Your letter is great.

I just like a fight with "the man" to be honest!

I got off on a parking fine, but the signage was ambiguous - I genuinely thought I was allowed to park there. Still, it felt good when the appeal went in my favour.

I would have thought a photograph of your car at the crime scene would be as good as an admission?

Photograph of the car does not prove who was driving.... It's all a ploy. Go to money saving expert. There is a 100% success rate for appealing against Genuine pre estimate of loss.

They have no right to send u the letter, ask who was driving or even to demand the money. They are cowboys

I'm under the impression that some of this has changed now - when they banned clamping, they made the registered keeper responsible for parking in the same way as they would be responsible for a traffic offence.

They're a business - and a business that average Joe relies on frequently I assume you don't use car parks then?

They are indeed a business but so are many other cowboys....

I have done plenty of research on this issue so I'm afraid you are the one who doesn't know what they are talking about. I also just won a case with popla (look them up in case you don't know).

All they are sending u is a parking invoice, yes there is a car park but they are unable to justify charging 60 let alone 100 pounds in a court of law. They could make a case for say 15 or 20 pounds at best.

Also do u not find it a bit stupid to suggest I might not use car parks when I already mentioned I have fought and won against these cowboys?

Not private car parks I'm afraid. Private car parks have their own legislation and they are not to be treated the same as council car parks.

I already said that they are only entitled to their losses while you occupied the parking space, and the costs involved in recovering those losses.
