Quote: wigan_rlfc "If I park on a council owned car park I will pay the fee. If it's privately owned and you don't have to get passed a barrier then I won't pay a penny. I've recieved numerous requests for money in the past and just ignored them. Usually taking an individual to court will cost these parking companies far more than the so called 'penalty' that they charge. They operate in hope that their strongly worded letter will scare people into believing that they have to pay up.'"
I'm intrigued. What makes you think it's acceptable to park as and when you please on someone's land?
I take issue with private companies issuing £100 invoices for a 2 min overstay as much as anyone, but I've no issue with someone trying to operate a legitimate pay and display.
