I can't find the quote on Google, but I think it must have been either Bernie Madoff or Harold Shipman. Can we have another clue, please?

You have to look at it this way, this is not a fine or a Penalty Charge Notice this is an invoice for using the car park at a highly inflated rate. They cannot, as councils do impose baliffs to collect the money, they instruct debt collectors who have no legal recourse, if you take no action they pass the matter back to the issuer of the ticket.

If bullying you with letters they can issue with a court summons at their cost ?80.00 I think, and even this is nonsencical to them as they cannot expect a court to believe that ?60.00 or whatever is a relevant charge for parking. This is why after the bullying these cowboys hang up their hats.

If you want more information you should really try:

It is an excellent resourse for information to fight all sort of injustises and really things we thought we had no rights on.
