Private car park fine

[johnsusername]

Has anyone NOT paid one of these?

 

I've got a parking pass in a carpark in town (it's part of a block of flats). Costs £80 a month. I use it every day for work and at least once at the weekend coming into town. It comes with a windscreen badge and is registered to my car. The carpark is always half empty.

 

On sunday my missus used the space but forgot to put the badge in the window, plus she was using her own car. Got back and there's a sticker on the window and a £60 fine, going up to £100.

 

Now to be fair there are signs all over the carpark, so it's not like she can say she didn't see them, plus as i mentioned she forgot to put the pass in the window and didn't use my car.

 

Still, it's not like it's a police or council parking ticket, it's a private company.

 

Has anyone succesfully not paid up a private parking charge? Because i don't want to. I like my money and want to keep as much of it as possible.

 

cheers

My bird used a fella on facebook, something along the lines 'fighting parking fines' he asked her for a fiver donation and fought the charge totally, don't just assume nothing will come of it because they do have some authority contrary to hearsay.

Good point. I'll just say I'm a Tory MP and don't understand how things work. Which is actually half true.

[M_B]

Depends if they will be bothered to take you to court I guess

A Tory MP posting on here,an honour. Welcome,your majesty.

Not quite,  you say your're a Tory MP and if you say one more time that I parked Illegally I will sue you for libel ,

Pay it in pennies. 

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Pay it in white dog turd.

Check if they're registered properly in some way.

If they're not, they won't be able to get your address details from the DVLA and won't be able to find you.

 

If they are, appeal it saying you have a permit from it and that the attendant can't have seen it.  You should still be able to pay the £60 if they find against you.

 

Alternatively, don't pay it and see if they feel like a fight.  It's only an invoice.

Ring them up and ask them "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" in an obnoxious tone. That will help.

Have a look at some lad on YouTube called Daniel Bostock. He's got me out of a couple of tickets. Clever stuff.

"DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?"

 

"No, who are you?"

 

"JOHNSUSERNAME"

 

"Who?"

 

"JOHNSUSERNAME"

 

"Who?"

 

"JOHNSFUCKINGUSERNAME"

 

"Who the fuck's that?"

[Kidder Bukowski]

Don't pay it, they'll forget about it in the end. That's what I was told by everybody I spoke to about this and my £60 fine has morphed into a £200 one now via the courts.

 

Still haven't paid it like but will give those experts mentioned above a go.

"No, who are you?"

Always cracks me up

Pay the fine immediately.

 

Then write out a huge list of more desirable alternatives you could have spent the equivalent money on: romantic meal, family day out at the zoo etc etc, and share this with those you love.

 

If I know people the way I think I do (winky smiley), you and your family will feel a lot better.

[Rico1304]

I'm sure there's been a case recently that's confirmed these fines are enforceable. Pay it.

[Hand Shandy]

Surely the easiest option is to contact them, explain your missus is a fuckwit, and show them your valid pass.

[Hand Shandy]

Oh, and if you initially end up talking to a woman, ask to speak to a bloke.

 

He'll understand...

This.

 

The ticket will have contact details on it.  Point out that you're registered and they'll probably drop it.  If they don't, there's an independent body (whose name I can't remember) that you can appeal to; if the company decide not to waive your fine, they'll have to give you the details of how to appeal to the independent body.

 

I wouldn't trust to some bloke off the internet who says he can get you out of your fines.  The law has tightened up in the last couple of years (in response to some blokes off the internet who said they could get you off your fines).

This law stuff is confusing didn't an elderly Scottish boozer manage to beat the law on speeding by saying he needed a shit?

[Carvalho Diablo]

Fuck it, let the missus pay the fucker.

[General Dryness]

Tell them you are a free man on the land with the right to travel and you do not consent to make joinder with them.

 

Thats worked dead well for loads of people, that.

Very much doubt simply explaining to them that you forgot the pass will work. I'm sure they'll cite some Ts & Cs in your contract stating it must be shown at all times or risk a fine.  Why?  Because they're money grabbing cunts.
