Private parking mild overpayment...

You have worded your reply a little confusingly, it looks as if you are saying I wasn't entirely truthful, for that I apologise on reading it wrong.
On the figures, the Parking Eye and CEL figures are wrong on the last FOI request, we know this as Parking Eye issued more than a thousand times in one of the month's from a previous request. And CEL are missing completely even though we know they have issued hundreds of times.

I deffo like your style and willingness to try something new...it's often the only way to learn.
Often large companies can't cope with 'complicated stuff' and so the little man has a chance of wrong footing them.

It's not really off topic as you have an option to cancel the cheque! As for squabbling if you call a discussion that then so be it!
As for your idea, you're on your own as nobody on this forum will agree that sending payment even if it's 1p over is a way of dealing with this! I suspect that MET will cash your cheque late and ask for the balance by way of debt collectors.
They like the others have form for this, they may not even go for that and set dca's on you asking for £100, perhaps then you send a cheque for £100.01 and try to sue on that overpayment?When posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you.

The cheque stands, for its maximum period of validity, they have received the cheque within the time and in accordance to their contract, there can be no further claim. If they reject the payment then their claim on the contract is considered to have been rescinded.
If they claim to have never received the cheque then I have proof to say they have.
They cannot cash the cheque late and claim further payment as that would be an attempt to breach their own contract.Managing well since 2012

I'll repeat my question as you may have missed it.
Have you or anyone else tried doing this with any other 'invoice' in the past?0 -

You have proof they received a sealed envelope!
Used to be used a lot to send a remittance note but forgetting to enclose a cheque. Helps the cash-flow don't you know!
I agree, you don't actually have proof that they received the cheque, all you have is a letter sent, and if you have sent a letter to the address below, or variants of it. Then I am afraid that is not MET themselves, all that has been signed for is someone at a rented PO Box business has signed it, this will then be forwarded to MET

Sorry, didn't mean to ignore your post!
I'm so far unaware on any precedent in regards to this, successful or otherwise. There's not really much to it other than paying a cheque by one penny over what they asked for, it is neither a demand, nor a lawful fine, morelike an amount that they asked for by the means of a civil "invoice".
By giving less, you can expect repercussions, forfeiture of the lower amount, charges etc. But what can the PPC do if they've been given the amount they've asked for plus one penny? It's certainly one that will/has been answered only by doing it!Managing well since 2012
