Law regarding removing wheel clamps
Hi, I think the situation about removing a wheel clamp must be more complex than made out. For example if someone put a lock on the front door of your house you could cut it off without it being criminal damage. What I was wondering was if you put a sign in the rear window of the car saying "any items attached to this…

UKPC Disabled Bay Ticket
Hi I am well aware that this has been well covered and am seeking assurance and advice. I am very wary of evil debt collecting notices and having been declared bankrupt 2.5years ago hoped to never be scared by them again. In July I vistited a Tesco Living. I assumed the carpark was owned by Tesco's. This store has only 2…

Inadvertently parked on disabled space
Life is stranger than fiction sometimes. There was one disabled spot in my road. One night I came home and did not realise that this had been increased to two disabled spots. I only saw the space that had been freshly painted and unfortunately, I parked in the other one. I got a ticket for this. I appealed and did not…

Time wrong on parking ticket
Hi, two days before my wedding, I went to pick up my suits in town and parked in a 30 minute ticketted bay. I bought a ticket which ended at 10.05. My receipt from the suit shop shows that I paid at 10.08. It is a 2 minute walk (about 60 metres away) back to the car. I got to my car in the rain, put the seven suits in the…

Help with a Parking Ticket Please
On 13 August I got a parking ticket in a Private Car Park. There were signs telling me that it was Private but there were also lots of free spaces. The thing is that I had my kids in the car - one was ill, and I was just dropping some keys off at a shop. The alternative to parking in this carpark was on double yellow lines…

Excess charge notice
On holiday in Somerset, I visited a shopping outlet with my Mom who has a blue badge for disabled parking. There were no spaces left for disabled parking, but a sign said you could park in other spaces free of charge with a disabled pass. We eventually found a space and Mom had difficulty getting out as it wasn't as wide…

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/aug/22/observer-panel-wheel-clamping-just?commentpage=1&commentposted=1 Interesting debate going on here. Amazingly Diane Abbott, the Labour MP who is avowedly anti-car by her own admission, believes it is. Karol Sikora sees it being a remedy to cars clogging up the road. He may…

Civil Penalty Parking Notice
Last Friday I picked up a ticket whilst using K.F.C. car park. The reason for the ticket is that I did "Not use venue at time of parking". We did not purchase anything from K.F.C. or even enter the building, so this is true. Parking was for just under 1 hour I believe. The charge for using the car park was £60.00! Before…
