Perhaps this would have been better placed on the parking sub forum?0

The way to get around this is a charge of £50 for them to get your reg details of DVLA and a wide industry limit of £100 per parking offence. Meaning that they would only pursue those they were 100% sure to win. Simple.Save saynoto0870.com in your favorites, and stop giving companies more £££ dialling 0870 numbers when you can dial freephones or cheaper alternatives
call your credit card company, tell them that you want to leave, 99% of the time theyll lower your APR%
Remember when that Bank Manager or Salesperson smiles at you, all he sees is £ notes. Dont forget the motto, "the wider their grin, the more debt your in"0 -

I took the !!!! with a parking Co once , I entered 0 or O , cant remember which , but they tried charging me £100 for that mistake
as one of the charioteers above has never been used by the DVLA , why did they have it on the key terminal0 -

Both zero and letter O have always been used on plates, and still are, often alongside each other on the same plate.twhitehousescat wrote: »I took the !!!! with a parking Co once , I entered 0 or O , cant remember which , but they tried charging me £100 for that mistake

But "Wah, it's not my fault I couldn't follow basic instructions correctly" is about par for the course for those who complain about not being able to park where they like with impunity.
Perhaps they're quite happy for their legitimate customers to use their car park, for a fair period of time?johnsmith1890 wrote: »If other people don't want you to park on their land they should put up barriers and access controls.0 -
you are almost right , the number zero and the letter o have and are used
however they are the same !!
the DVLA never did and will never use the number zero

It's the same glyph, but it's used for both characters.
Are you really trying to tell me that the age identifier on that Disco3 is "letter oh digit five"?0 -
why is there a charector on the parking Cos keypad that is not used by the DVLA
all there to confuse things ,
instead of buying in equipment from foreign countries , why not have a key display like this
at least 25% of all parking cases are because of bad keyboard ,
hell , we dont even need qwerty , just nice and simple !!0
