Son's been a silly boy

My son has been working abroad since mid-Nov, and has only now returned home. Letters arrived for him in his absence which we left for him to open, however, 3 of these have been PCN's from a local council for him having parked on double yellow lines before he went away. The first for £30 then increased to £60 and lastly £90 with a threat of sheriff officers next. He admits he was foolish :mad: to sit on double yellow lines but did not receive the fines as he was away. However the council won't budge and insist he pays full amount. - Any advice or should he accept that he has GP stump up? :(

    We deal primarily with private parking charges. Council ones are better referred to PePiPoo where they have regulars who specialise in council-related parking charges.

    So refer there. You will need to provide scans/photos of all docs your son has received - both sides.

    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; show him how to catch fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.
