Southwark parking payment website epic fail

She got there, didn't pay - personally, I don't think the info there is ambiguous, but... - and got a ticket. She…

Have had a PPC from EXCEL PARKING despite displaying a valid parking ticket !!!

The ticket was displayed correctly for the entire duration that the PPC is 'invoicing' me for. Is this a worrying…

Useful info (I think)
On the link below there is a standard thread about my dear friends in Preston. If you take a look, look for a few replies further down and find one from a retired solicitor.

Argos Parking Private Co. Fine
I recently took a telly back to Argos because it was faulty within the guarantee period. I parked in their collection bay and went in to simply drop it.
