I seem to remember hearing some time ago that if you got a parking fine and overpaid (ie. fine = £30, you send a cheque for £32), the council then send you a cheque for the overpaid amount. If you never cash this cheque, they never cash yours as the "transaction" has never been completed as far as their records are concerned.
Is this true ?
