    One month and about 6 emails!

    Thank you to everyone in this group for their support. Without the encouragement I would have given in and paid the reduced fine.

    Except that it was never a "fine", just an invoice!

    Out of interest, did you simply shop in Lidl on this occasion or did you also shop else where? (I realise invoice has been cancelled)
    Paid off the last of my unsecured debts in 2016. Then saved up and bought a property. Current aim is to pay off my mortgage as early as possible. Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.

    Well done, who told you it was cancelled ?
    When posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you. They DO monitor the forum.
    We don't need the following to help you.
    Name, Address, PCN Number, Exact Date Of Incident, Date On Invoice, Reg Number, Vehicle Picture, The Time You Entered & Left Car Park, Or The Amount of Time You Overstayed.
