    Super result. It's just a joke that they reduce the charge, one offer after another, like a Dutch auction. 

    So you can now happily sail off into the sunset, or should that be dive, dive, dive!  All the very best.

    Well done!  ANOTHER PPS /  BW LEGAL ONE BITES THE DUST!

    Background to this case:
    i filled the instructions on the LCD of the pay and display machine and at no time did it ask for a registration number or indicate that i had did something wrong.  Shouldn't their LCD machine take a customer through the correct process of getting a ticket and should contain no pitfalls or traps.
    Instead, the machine printed a ticket which the letters PP where the registration number should.

    Just going back over the facts (above) and the case that I pointed out at the start (below, where Excel's machine printed out 'QQ':

    This case was a complete waste of your time from start to finish.  If you have incurred any costs as a result of it (postage/phone calls/printing?) then CPR 38.6 says (unless you agreed to a drop hands offer and no costs) that in the event of a discontinuance, the C is liable for the costs of the D.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    This thread is almost 3 years old and much has changed in the private parking world. Do not blindly rely on the detail here. Best you start a new thread of your own, with details of your parking event and charge to get the most up to date advice.
