local council charge £60 for a ticket (after an incident) but reduced to £30 if paid in "x" days on "some of there off street car parks


HOWEVER


on several others they have chosen a PPC to act for them , charges are


£100 reduced to £60 if paid in "x" days , however , if the "x" is exceeded they then add on another £40 "for contacting the DVLA"


plain daylight robbery , any government (council) legislation to stop this?




signage clearly states "XXXX counsil" , and names the company and there £100 charge , until 2 weeks ago it even stated clamping!

    basic contract is available (I have it) very very vague , does not even state authority to issue tickets or initiate court action


    you will probably be getting bored , but this is yet another angle of attack on "trev"


    I am adamant he will loose those contracts , hence looking for different attack points
