• Parking fines. 22 Apr 2012 (Forum)
  Hi all, This is my first post on here so bare with me please! Quick question to start me off: Recently picked up a parking ticket, obviously not very happy. The thing is that the double yellow lines I was parked on were very much in a state of disrepair and barely visible. Do you think
• Avoiding Parking Fines 7 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  In London there is a total lack of parking spaces for motorbikes. I have seen bikes recently parked illegally on the pavement - normally they would get slapped with a ticket within minutes. The bikers however are leaving their bikes with rough covers/plastic bags over the number plates

• N/A - Council Parking Fine - low level curb PLEASE HELP 1 Aug 2011 (Forum)
  I parked my car outside of my house on the road blocking a low level curb. I returned to my car to find a perking notice had been issued. There are no markings on the road to indicate that I should'nt park there. Is it legally correct that I can be issued a parking notice in this instance
• APCOA - Parking Fine - Railway Station 11 Apr 2013 (Forum)

• Skoda fabia - PCN 26 Nov 2013 (Forum)
  I parked in a free car park in a place where I was not obstructing and there was no yellow lines ect. I received a 60.00 fine for not parking within a pay. 60.00 seems a lot when they have no loss as there was no payment. It here is no time payment or time limit. Do I have to pat this excessive

• Parking Ticket Appeal - Apcoa 3 Aug 2013 (Forum)
  returned to collect my vehicle after 7pm in the evening and to find that it had a ticket on the windscreen.  My first though was how do I print a copy of their text message to prove I parked!!!  To my horror, I had not received a non payment fine but I had received a fine for parking within two
• Parking fine paid with cheque written on bog paper 19 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  http://tinyurl.com/5gvw65 "A motorist who paid an "overzealous" parking fine with a cheque written on toilet paper has claimed a victory for common sense after he escaped a further penalty. " Well, he wrote a cheque, and Suffolk Police actually took him to court to reclaim the £15 they said
• Note said "Parking - fine" - That's nice, I said. 6 May 2010 (Forum)
  (Old Tommy Cooper joke IIRC...) Got my second parking fine in ten years this morning. I'd paid the ticket but overstayed by about 20 minutes and "Lovely Rita" had already ticketed me when I returned. We had quite an amiable chat and she showed me how to cancel the fine. I duly punched

• Another APCOA civil parking notifice 16 Jan 2013 (Forum)
  Yes, I'm yet another victim of the dreaded APCOA parking bandits, who put a dampener on our Olympic day trip by slapping my car with £80.00 parking fine (reduced to a mere £50 if paid within 14 days)!  The story is...my partner paid for parking using details saved in his
• Night-time parking £260 per hour 21 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  (to half a mile away), £60 for parking fine. Ouch. The car was unarguably illegally parked. But what prompt response! The tow charges strike me as wholly disproportionate, a little like bank overdraft letter charges. The Council runs two levels of parking fine - £40 for minor offences, and £60
