    BTW, after being caught out by a "fluttering ticket" a few years ago (I've not been back to Brighton since!), I've taken to keeping a clothes peg in the car, which I can clip onto my parking ticket to weigh it down.

    They are acknowledged by council assessors as being not fit for purpose - guidance for council fine appeals is that the tickets should have a sticky back so they can be fixed to the windscreen/dashboard.
    We argue in private parking cases that this guidance is sound and should apply equally to tickets purchased from machines operated by private parking companies.


    Not that councils pay any attention to this anyway - every single council machine in Swansea issues tickets without a sticky back. The clothes peg is a good idea, I'm always really careful to make sure it's left face up after I've closed the door, but sometimes when it's a windy day it takes quite a few attempts!

    hey guys I was wrong and they have dismissed my apeal. They have given me the option of appealing through IAS. Any advice once again would be great. Thanks

    Yes, prepare yourself for a barrage of debt collector's letters by reading post #4 of the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread.

    Post again on this thread if ever you receive a Letter Before Claim or official court correspondence.

    For the answer to that question please read post #3 of the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread.

    Your decision. You know my opinion. If I thought that was the right thing to do I would've said so.

    Again, people who haven't read the NEWBIES thread are asking this?

    IPC cases are ALL THE SAME.

    NO NEXT STEP. And no, that doesn't mean we tell you to pay!
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
