I am a sad individual and i know i need to get a life. I have just read all 19 pages of this thread and i have to say that i found it quite entertaining!

Ive been worrying about debt etc lately and this has made me smile-so thanks.

Only thing is, i have never had one of these 'parking tickets' but would love one just so i can have some amusing banter with the 'debt collectors' but especially the 'solicitors'

Told you i was sad!

Not at all.

I think collecting a full set of tickets and letters from every PPC is the same as train spotting or collecting star wars cards.

Ive got a fair collection, but im always looking for new ones.

You are not that sad. When I get bored I go out and see if I can collect a ticket or two. The only way you could be accused of being sad is if you have failed to get one, seeing as it's sooooo easy!

Its a bit like fishing, you lay the bait (park the car) then retire to a distance to see if a ppc goon nibbles..........

LY,

you don't even have to park. One of their goons once told me that to if I was waiting the wheels would have to be moving. I reported that muppet to the store and ruined the manager's day.

You lot make me laugh. I am now on the look out for car parks run by Excel. I will, of course, buy a ticket but will park in 2 spaces and overstay.
Watch this space.....

Tsk...tsk...norty - but as long as it's a fairly empty car park so you are not annoying any genuine people then sod 'em, the scammers deserve a bit of baiting!

After trying to buy a ticket from 3 machines - all out of service for whatever reason, in Stockport (Peel), I was on my way to the fourth machine, in pouring down rain, with a broken foot (no cast and is safe to drive just slow walker and with walking aid!) - and I was issued a Parking Charge Notice, by Excel Parking Services Limited.

I could see the man doing something at my car, so I presumed I was being ticketed and returned to my car, feeling sick with worry, without then buying a ticket - and left the car park.

The ticket is completed with a 15 minute difference between been 'seen' and being 'issued'.

I saw the guy as I drove into the car park - I wasn't ignoring him or trying to dodge the parking fee!

I know all the threads are saying ignore ignore ignore - but this has really scared me. I was thinking of just appealing, within the stated 14 days.

No rational person can expect someone with a broken foot and using a walking aid, to walk to 4 different machines, drenched through, within 15 minutes, surely?
And I am sure the notices dont say you only have 15 minutes to obtain a ticket?

I did speak to an attendant, who said it was nothing to do with them and to go back in the morning for 7:45 - which I did, but no one turned up and I waited an hour.

I haven't slept properly in 5 days because of this - please help should I at least appeal, so even if they take me to court I have some evidence that I havent ignored the fine? IS it a valid fine? Will it affect my credit rating if I don't pay?

Any advice is appreciated - thank you.
