I received a second letter a few days after receiving the first one.

Currently ignoring the letters.

I sent a professional looking letter, stating that any more correspondence would be charged at £1000 per letter/email/telephone call.

I then received a letter stating the fine had been admonished, so I invoiced them for £1000

It wasn't acknowledged, but they did stop sending me letters.

Would have earned more in the time writing this post alone, than the fine cost imo.

Pay up, you've got enough cash by the sounds of things, especially if you haven't bought your weekend toy yet.

Times are changing and ignorance is no longer the best way to approach. Got a parking ticket for parking in my own spot at my apartment. Kindly told them to get to fuck as it was my spot after some advice , they are still adamant the fine is payable. Most I'm liable for is the £60 of it goes to small claims and I lose so bollocks to them, work for it.

Think they cherry pick a few from time to time to follow up.

I used to agree with all that has been said as my wife got a few and just ignored them.


Alas the last time she actually was taken to court and lost.

£100 to you is like 1p to most members

Ignore it. My missus is always getting them when she parks at work. Just throws all the letters in the bin.

They start saying they are going to take you to court etc but they dont

You need to take a look at pepipoo (I think that's how it's spelt!).

From my understanding, you're right. What you've been sent is legally a charge through breach of contract, not a fine (as issued by HM Government - council, Police etc).

I've received a letter, done nothing with it. It's sat on a pile of other letters on my desk to sort out.

The first mistake you made is acknowledging the fine and communicating with them.

I received a parking ticket from euro car parks. I was parked in Manchester.

Basically i paid by phone, money didn't go out my account and i got a ticket.

Only evidence i have is the phone call logged on my phone bill.

I read years ago unless the parking fine is not with the council, you don't have to pay. Is this still the case? Robbing bastards want £100..
