    You are being ripped off

    Go here and download parking fees for balliffs

    Here
    I all have learnt is from others on many sites.
    Seek legal help if unsure.
    Dont pay Private Parking tickets - they are mere invoices.

    PRESS THANKS

    No they can't arrest you.

    Next time open the letters or pay the fine as you and your wife are going to have to endure a lot of hassle in the next few months as well as your wife nagging/giving you grief/making you sleep on the sofa to teach you a lesson ;o))

    I have my suspicions that the Original Posting for this thread is nothing more than an attempt to tease MSE forum addicts into a thread with no substance.

    Does not mean that it's no fun though.

    By all means post up pictures of them - with your your own details edited out of the pictures of course.
