F#cking nigerian trafic wardens!

We worked in london for two years and parked in a car park just off wallworth road elephant and castle, we used to take it in turns to park the van. any way my turn this one afternoon so I parked the van at the bottom of the carpark, put my hand in my pocket and nowt but coppers luckily the paper shop was 20 yards away over the little retaining fence which you can step over.

the time it took me to walk to the shop and straight to the counter picking a paper up en route, 10er handed over, change handed back, and 20 yards back to the ticket machine. a bloody traffic warden had appered so I shouts over it`s ok I will have a ticket in two shakes of a black mamba... clunk cluck duzzzt ticket! walked over to her just as she pressed print on her hand held machine, I`m standing with a parking ticket in one hand and a fine on the windscreen so I tried to reason with her and she just walked away smiling so I`m hopping up and down mad as flip at the same time a bloke with shirt and tie bounds over I seen it all and will be your witness to the abuse so I said thanks very much and he says not for you... for her she says ` sorry no speak english` then he tells me he works for wallworth council and I can appeal the ticket :corey:

I did appeal and as you can imagine it was not found in my favour even though the ticket from the machine said 17:34 and the fine ticket said 17:35

Dont pay them a penny Spink! There is no statutory law backing any of this up. Thats why you always get a fixed penalty notice and not a fine. Because they cant legally fine you in anyway.

I have had tones of fixed penalty parking notices and to date not paid a single penny.
I even went to court once over 3 fines that occurred in 2 weeks and requested from the judge the document that states that fixed penalty notices have to be paid. They where unable to produce so i walked out and said your wasting your time.
Now days i dont even bother replying to the council when they send the fines and when they finally send the court summons i just return to sender with NO CONTRACT written on the front. After that they give up.
If you don't agree to the contract they cant touch you.
At least this is how it works in Devon but i presume its the same all over the country.
As for TV licensing. Dont even get me started on that one!

Be careful with ignoring this if the company is called PARKING EYE, i did just that and i currently have a baliff chasing me and the outstanding is £550 so far. I got this for waiting to long when picking someone up from the ferry.

Been through it many times when parking at Swindon station.... Usually they send of a hugely inflated fine letter, followed by a reduced fine latter to tempt you into paying, followed by another final notice before they take you to court and your life will never be the same etc.

And then you'll never hear from them again - unless you get another fine, in which case you'll get the same set of letters. I got to the to the point I recognised the envelope stamp and just filed them straight to the bin

I have no doubt that he had the book thrown at him John,(the book these days usually means a day out at alton towers)

they oversee an NCP in my town,lots of people have been shafted by them for just driving into the carpark for a couple of minutes and dropping someone off etc as there are loads of business's around the edge.There was outcry about it around here,they were deemed to be illegal fines aswell.

If you do get clamped, just remember what your driving...
