in Parking tickets, fines & parking
Compelling video footage of a VCS employee taking details of vehicles, hanging up a sign then issuing tickets before being challenged by local residents.

It's a closed group but would be worth joining just to see the footage then leave if necessary.

    Yes I saw that earlier.

    It's pretty blurry but it needs sending to the Daily Mail, with extra photos of the van to prove it is VCS.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Anywhere else to see it other than in a (closed) facebook group?

    Anyone can apply to join the group and most people from here will be very welcome, although you will be vetted before you are allowed access.
    If you were not the driver write to the parking firm and tell them who was so they CANNOT hold you liable. The person who was driving the car is responsible so let them deal with it. Not you! Don’t let people with an agenda tell you otherwise.

    I recognise the individual words as English but frankly that’s about it.

    Be patient, it will be downloaded from facebook and
    uploaded to youtube

    Coupon Mad joining this facebook group, well well.!

    Isn't this the group which Tony Taylor runs?
    She said she saw the video, not that she'd joined the group. Perhaps someone showed it to her.

    Do you struggle to discern written statements or are you a master of distortion?

    We can type in larger font if that helps :D
