Parking tickets, fines & parking

Hello Firstly I will state, yes, I know there are lots of stickies, but I am being honest, I am working 80 hour weeks at the moment I am going through a separation and house move, as well as running my business.

Went into a fuel station now three weeks ago, bought something (can't remember what, it was 3.80) and was not charged for the fuel, what are my rights here? Them asking for a £35 surcharge is insanity, especially when it is not my error. I am obviously going to contact them asking to waive this, but I thought I would ask…

In 2024 PEEL Ports / ManchesterShip Co managed to push through an update to this small bridge’s ancient Byelaws allowing them to update the 12p a crossing fee collected manually at a booth to a new ANPR Toll system with online payments.

Hello, had a letter from HM Court & Tribunals Service and a claim form regarding a Smart Parking PCN ignored since July 2023, and I am now thinking of just paying it due to this letter (£288) as it's from the courts and I figure I'm at the end of the road with this.

hi, I was wondering if I could get some help with this please, as I'm not sure if an appeal is possible.

I'd collapsed once and then did again in the…
