    I would bit their hand off if I was offered £19/week parking. I'm paying £60/month for my broadband to play the Xbox car games online.

    Fixed that for you. ;)

    Are you sure that you don't mean £19.31 a MONTH ?

    That's very close to the equivalent of £4.38 a WEEK.
    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill

    £19 a week in Westminster doesn't seem uunreasonable.

    It is if your neighbours only pay £4.

    Also OP doesn't say where he lives, he may live in Carlisle, but wherever he lives they think he's a Westminster resident and feel obliged to discriminate against him for that.

    He said "I live on a housing estate in london", presumably in or near Westminster.

    Have a chat with CAB.
    You know what uranium is, right? It's this thing called nuclear weapons. And other things. Like lots of things are done with uranium. Including some bad things.

    Im not sure If i can post image so here is the text word for word:

    "I am currently doing an audit on the parking bays at X. I have noticed that you are being charged an incorrect price for the parking bays which you rent from us.

    The text refers to "bays", are they charging you for multiple bays rather than 1 like your neighbours?
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    Speak to your local councillor. They love to get their teeth into things like this.

    This may not soften the blow much, but it's actually only a 500% increase.
