Parking machine retained money
Discussion
I had a funny incident yday as when I was trying to pay and get a ticket in Guildford (ticket machine 17613) I inserted a 1 pound coin and a 50p coin as on Sundays its £ 1.50 for the whole day however the machine said insufficient money and would not print a ticket
I clicked on the cancel button and only the 50p coin was returned not the £1 as i was in a hurry I had to use and another £1 pound and the 50p and this time it worked
I know it just a £1 but then on principle how do I complain and get it rectified? I tried the council website but it does not say anything and ringo app website is helpless as its not a phone transaction
any ideas on this after all if we pay £1 less to any council we get penalties dont we

Trust me you will spend more time and effort on it that you would ever believe and still be unlikely to get a straight answer, let alone your money back.
I had similar with a council parking machine taking money but then pretending it hadn't when i was a student. Again it was £1 but being a student i had plenty of time on my hands to chase and so on. I gave up in the end as it was just too much like hard work for the sake of £1.

Hit it until it returns money?
Once happened to me, late at night, walked up to the help desk, somebody will be down shortly, 15 minutes later I decided to bang on the eject button area, got half my money back, done it again, got double my money back, ended up paying for my Chinese that night, went to the other pay machine which worked fine

I know it’s sucks,but it’s not really worth the effort is it? Forget about it and move on.
Fantastic, NOT!They are on a right little earner and someone should stand up. Whether it will do anything, who knows but your comment isn't helpful.
It's £1 move on....
