  I have been issued a parking fine in Straford upon Avon High Street for failing to display a parking ticket of 50p. I had bought a ticket which had inadvertently fallen to the floor when I left the car. I have appealed but the authorities are sticking to the line that the attendant looked in the foot well but couldn't see a ticket.

• Skoda fabia - PCN 26 Nov 2013 (Forum)
  I parked in a free car park in a place where I was not obstructing and there was no yellow lines ect. I received a 60.00 fine for not parking within a pay. 60.00 seems a lot when they have no loss as there was no payment.

  I must have overstayed my welcome at a Home Bargain car park in a very sleepy town in N Wales and three weeks later I have been issues with an £85 fine! (kindly reduced to £50 if I pay within the next 2 weeks!)  I cannot understend how or why they (Private Eye) can charge that sum for half an hour.

• Parking Ticket Appeal - Apcoa 3 Aug 2013 (Forum)

  http://tinyurl.com/5gvw65 "A motorist who paid an "overzealous" parking fine with a cheque written on toilet paper has claimed a victory for common sense after he escaped a further penalty. " Well, he wrote a cheque, and Suffolk Police actually took him to court to reclaim the £15 they said it would cost to process the cheque.
• Note said "Parking - fine" - That's nice, I said. 6 May 2010 (Forum)
  (Old Tommy Cooper joke IIRC...) Got my second parking fine in ten years this morning. I'd paid the ticket but overstayed by about 20 minutes and "Lovely Rita" had already ticketed me when I returned. We had quite an amiable chat and she showed me how to cancel the fine.
• Parking fine. 26 Jul 2016 (Forum)
  Today I got a parking fine in the post for Mcdonalds in Uxbridge from MET parking services. Last week I was on my way to the vet and stopped there to use their toilets before continuing to the vet. I then went to the vet and was there for 1h10m before returning to Mcdonalds on the way back (1h20m later) for coffee.

• Another APCOA civil parking notifice 16 Jan 2013 (Forum)
  Yes, I'm yet another victim of the dreaded APCOA parking bandits, who put a dampener on our Olympic day trip by slapping my car with £80.00 parking fine (reduced to a mere £50 if paid within 14 days)!  The story is...my partner paid for parking using details saved in his phone but he accidentally gave the number plate of his car and not mine!
• Night-time parking £260 per hour 21 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  By 10.25, the car had been towed away. £200 for tow charges (to half a mile away), £60 for parking fine. Ouch. The car was unarguably illegally parked. But what prompt response! The tow charges strike me as wholly disproportionate, a little like bank overdraft letter charges. The Council runs two levels of parking fine - £40 for minor offences, and £60 for offences which cause a 'major restriction to traffic flow and major inconvenience to other motorists.'
