    How about starting your own thread instead of hi-jacking someone else's that's six months old?

    Ok, so I live in Stockport and frequently park at the peel centre. I know they will get me if I don't get a ticket, however, a couple of weeks ago I was meeting my brother and his family for a coffee. We parked next to each other, I went and bought my ticket and his partner bought there's. We remember getting them, I actually made a joke about her having to go back and check her reg. We have pictures of our kids in our phones on that day the 14th May outside Costa.

    Anyway, I received a parking fine for the 14th. I absolutely know I bought a ticket and they witnessed it. We know the date well because it was the day we got back from holiday.

    The interesting bit is........my brother called me earlier to say that he has also received a ticket for the same date and time.

    I am pretty sure I have my ticket amongst the 1000s i keep. But what I want to know is how should we proceed?

    We kind of want to take it all the way to court so that it costs them more and the learn a lesson. I bet loads of people got fines on that day. Must have been an error with the machine. The only difference is that we know we got a ticket, and others may not be so sure.

    Let me know your thoughts?

    Thanks

    You do need your own new thread. I loved reading the bit in bold - good for you! DPA claim springs to mind:

    hi Lenny0212
    I can't believe it I have just received my parking charge notice today
    I was at the Peel Centre in Stockport on the 14th may and I definately purchased the ticket
    I don't know what to do
    I think I will go into one of the shops and tell them what happened
    I am sure there are more people on the same day and they got the fine

  • Hi Nic,

    I have mentioned this on another forum and it seems we are not alone. At least 2/3 others have picked up penalty charges at the peel centre in stockport on the 14th May. This might be a coincidence but all of the others used the pay machine next to Costa.

    Some of the others, myself included have had our appeal denied, but it seems there is a lot of us now. Should they want to take it to court we should all stick together.

    Keep me posted on how you get on.

    Cheers
