Talking of high fees - I've just been chatting with a mate on Facebook and he's a travelling parking attendant. He gives out £100 tickets apparently

Is that a plus mileage fee?

An action can be seen as acceptance of contract.

Car insurance can be deemed as agreed by voice other the phone ro payment on the internet. these are actions to confirm acceptance.

If I went to my dentist/barber/plumber I have accepted a contract by accepting their services. Your first hurdle would be to prove I accepted yours!

Car insurance contract can be made over the telephone yes but it is asked for, offered, and agreed by both parties!

I offer the parking service by parkign you agree (providing the signs have been provided in a plain simple language) and at intervals and positions so as to be easily readable.

Ok so the landowners loss would be construed of my hourly fee of £10 for the preperation and appropriation of a solicor, Legal documents and my time for the attendance of court. This would then be more than the ticket was worth and is exactly how PPC's would avert to if they were made to charge just for losses

Yes but the intial figure is to pay £60+ before any court costs etc, so for example your p/d charges say £2 an hour, how do you justify the penalty you are trying to charge, and lets face it , it is a penalty!

On the pay and display charged, what is your cut? And where do you make the most money, invoices or p/d tickets ?

Does he also offer to tarmac their car parks ?

Incredible ain't it? I wonder how many of them get paid?

No, what I'm getting at, if it's a free car park, then the loss is nil. If it's £1.20 per hour and I'm 10 minutes over, then the loss is 20p, so you bill me for 20p. If I don't pay then you take me to court and the various costs incurred in that are then add on.

To penalise me by anything from £50-£100+ for 10 minutes, is unjustly high.

(and I'm not talking about your 'ethical' PPC. I'm talking about PPCs in general).

Does the owner of the land not offer the parking service - which I take to be a euphemism for a space?

The most money is made on P+D tickets in terms of % ROI however more money is made on tickets.
The cut per site varies on the set up and so on. (who pays for the machine do i pay rent yadadadadada)
I would rather issue 100 hours of P+D @ £1/hour than i would issue a single ticket.
Also P+D generate revenue from them little ads on the back. Prices for ads vary from £80-£200 per 1k tickets.
