Parking fines

[Mason]

A lot of people are too scared or just do not have time to actually fight a parking or a Road traffic fine received in the post.

There are lots of laws that do protect you, as with receiving the ticket on time, the pictures or video taken that can actually cancel a ticket. However on that is more usual than the normal council is that of private firms at the Supermarkets.

Well let me tell you if you receive a fine on private ground such as supermarkets, they are not fines, they are invoices, and cannot be enforced by law at all. The companies that are subcontracted by they supermarkets may put a ticket on your car, but have no rights in law to collect the money.

They use methods that are really scary, by using debt collector, who again have no rights, and if they overstep their mark can be actually shut down.

These parking companies use the ignorance of the people to intimidate until payment is received.

The only way any of these tickets can be valid is, if these companies take you to court at a cost with their solicitors, and if you have proof you shopped in the store, you can only be charged ?2.00 if nothing at all.

The company knows this, and will intimidate you, but will never take you to court as the costs outweigh what they would receive.

Never ever pay these tickets which are in a fact an invoice. They are not LAW.
