in Parking tickets, fines & parking
Rather pleased with myself as my mother's just brought me no less than three threatograms from Parking Eye amongst my post from home (I'm away at uni). I notice they're a little different to the example ones in the sticky - they've missed out the third from the 'Solicitors'/DCA or whatever they want to call themselves, and gone straight to the fourth. I have been waiting for this day since I started driving. :rotfl:

Any suggestions for ways to wind them up? :p

    Conduct a spirited correspondence with them by appealing and then quibbling everything they say, but not putting a stamp on any of the letters you send them. See how long they play that game especially if you give them the impression of "well, I am about to send you my cheque, but there's just another little point I would like you to clear up..." When will they realise you are taking the P? would be fun finding out.....

    Plus, write your 'letter' on the front cover of a telephone directory.

    And don't forget to write "cheque enclosed" on the envelope.

    Hmm, but how to do this in a way to avoid stating who the driver might have been? Or does that not really matter?

    Never mention who was driving, and avoid using 'I'.

    My car was parked...
    I received a letter as Registered Keeper...
    Before I send you the cheque, could you clarify...

    Too late for that, already opened them. Didn't know what they were!
