    In my experience, they will sell it on to a debt collector who will rack up charges at an amazing rate. I would pay the £30.00 and not risk it. (You have admitted you did stay over your time) Your call though.

    Post your query on Parking Fines section of the Motoring, Public Transport and Cycling Forum, you will undoubtedly get further advice.
    If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales

    THere are ways to legally challenge these fines but in order to go through the process correctly and with the littlest impact on your pocket. You will need to pay the ticket now and then challenge it later. You will get the money paid back to you eventually.

    As Lincroft has said follow that thread and you will find a process and letters to adhere to.

    Good luck.
    If you see a penny, pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck !!!!!! :D
