Challenging a Parking Ticket

[LucienSanchez]

I thought that thing from GFM was for cars clamped by private companies?

[strooood]

Oh yeah.

this is Islington Borough council.

I think i might just have to cough up.

Unless the yellow lines are of terrible quality, i'm out of ideas.

If you moan enough they will normally reduce it or give up that is council fines. Also you could take the view that what are they going to do for £60 it is unlikely they will do anything other than write. To issue county court procedding would cost £35 not to mention the work putting the papers together and then what...........

On the other hand if you were pakred wrong just pay up you were in the wrong.  Private car parks on the other hand I woudl moan like fuck and not pay any of it.

If you really wanna annoy the council can I suggest you write to them saying you are poor and can't afford to pay the whole fine at once but offer to pay it back £10 a month and send them 6 post date cheques. This will end up costing them about 50p to bank each cheque and they will have to run a file for 6 months which will cost them as well ha ha ha ha

Thing is, i probably was parked wrong which is why it's so annoying.

I was on a single yellow line and stopped for literally 2 minutes to run into the shop and get a bottle of milk.

I came out just as the cunt was doing his thing, i was so close that you can even see me getting into my car in the picture. I said to him I was loading (the bottle of milk) and the lines give you five minutes. he said he was sorry he thought i had been there longer and said he will make a note of it and if i appeal i will get off.

The motherfucker was lying though quite clearly.
