Chancers there certainly are. The BPA's code of conduct recently had to be changed to prohibit parking patrol officers being paid bonuses based on the number of tickets issued as many were found to have worked out how to alter the timestamp on their handheld ticket machines to make it appear...

Been a bit busy lately so no update for a while, but here's what's been happening in the background: The reduced charge that appeared when I checked the status of my appeal was explained when I received a nice letter from Civil Enforcement on 25th June stating that my appeal had been...

Much as I love the US of A, having served in our Military alongside yours at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada and the US Marine Corps base at Yuma in Arizona, I do have to say that at least our Cowboys don't carry guns, just parking tickets. :)

You could have a point, there - update for today is that the charge I'm supposed to pay has changed. They're heading in the right direction, but still no cigar.

Short update regarding the appeal I lodged yesterday online for the charge my wife received, which included the 'PCN' reference for her friend so they could consider both cases together. That appeal is now showing as received and being processed - you re-enter your details on their website to...

Agree with all of the above and I'll take a look at the Money Saving Expert site. It's the whole unfairness of the thing that gets my goat - the people who are getting these invoices are legitimate customers, not people sneaking on to the site just to steal a free parking space. The...

Moderator comment - OT part of post moved from https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/5641341/ Whilst not specifically mentioned in the Terms of Service it is common forum etiquette to keep posts relevant within reason to the topic being discussed And I'm afraid I'd better apologise to anyone...

Thanks for your support, Billbrown. In the case of The Dragonfly Hotel, if you take your EV there for a top-up you'll see that there's no doubt that Civil Enforcement Ltd. have permission from the landowner to operate on their site. In fact, there are currently so many confusing...

Well done Adopado, you really do know your cars. It was my homage to the Lancia D24 Spyder, as driven to victory by Alberto Ascari in the 1954 Mille Miglia, and something I built myself out of a rusty Triumph Vitesse using a fibreglass bodyshell from a chap called Gary Janes who still operates...

Thanks Dilly. Just to make it clear, the car park parasites like Criminal, sorry Civil Enforcement Ltd., aren't sending you a fine for breaking a national or local law, they are sending you an invoice to pay for parking due to a breach of the terms and conditions of using the car park. By...

I appreciate your support, M3Noob. And yes, the Hotel have until Monday to get in touch before I start making some noise in the local press/tv about this. Oh, and my wife and her friend both have an awful lot of social media contacts in their phones. There will also be a review going on...

Moderator comment - this round started in PCN at supercharger Kings Lynn despite reasonable efforts Thanks for the welcome Adopado. This was my drug of choice until I sold it in 2017 - ...and currently putting a Speedster together in my garage - I've also just bought a youngtimer...

Hi Tesla Owner's Club members, I'm not an owner myself (petrol-head, I'm afraid), but on Thursday my wife and her friend both received £100 invoices for parking at the Dragonfly Hotel in King's Lynn, and I want to cause Civil Enforcement Ltd as much of a headache as I can, so here I am. I...
