It was an email actually, and no I'm not posting it up because...

1. It's an email so I'll just get accused of making something up.
2. If I give any hint as to which council was involved some c*nt off here will probably send them a message to say they might want to rethink.

Believe what you like, but I fought the system and won

Where did I say I don't believe you in the quoted comment Mr Dodger?

Congrats by the way on getting back your supposed 30 mins worth of wages back

No council will ever send a formal letter/document regarding parking or council decisions by email so I call BULL**** !!!

in devon you get the option to put about five quid in the meter there and then and produce ticket it then cancels out the fine . hope this wasnt the case for you and you missed it cos the clause is in very small print at the bottom of the charges sign . i got one where i live was 9 minutes late , as i was standind next to the car cursing a bloke walks past and says put the overdue amount in the meter plus the extra mate it cancels the fine , so i walked over read the meter and he was right RESULT

Just goes to show a nicely written letter with a bit of grovelling and being a bit economical with the truth can work wonders. Don't take these fines laying down.

Glad to hear it, hope they don't read this forum though!
