Discussion
Hi Guys,
Got a parking ticket on my car outside my house this morning (girlfriend saw them issue it.)
However when i got home no ticket on car!!!!!
It would seem somebody removed it a; for fun!!!
b; to try to increase my fine!!
Have an idea could be girlfriends ex with view to sticking me with late payment increase.
What to do? Any ideas how i legally stand although issued i never recieved it?
Cheers Fy

write to the "parking control manager" at your local civic offices.
explain the situation, give em the date, rough time and vehicle reg and they will furnish you with the penalty charge notice number and how much they want to rape you for.
edit to say:
as far as "getting away without paying it" not a chance.

In good faith, the ticket was never received by you...
The person who removed it from your car broke the law. You, in turn, never knew it had been issued - you never found it one your windscreen, did you?
.
Can you say this convincingly to the authorities when the time comes? If not, do what the poster above me said... for a clear conscience if nothing else
.
I will get my asbestos coat...

Far, far more hassle if you know it's been issued- And presumably (?) why it's been issued...
To call them! If the ticket's valid it will be far easier to pay the discount fine now, rather than trying to prove in court that no ticket was attached to vehicle...
However if you think the ticket's a bit dodgy... Go for it!

Seconded. explain the situation, give em the date, rough time and vehicle reg and they will furnish you with the penalty charge notice number and how much they want to rape you for.

By law the ticket was served/issued.
Open the wallet - mind the moths.

Issued because house is on bend with double yellows,, extra wide kerb so everybody parks there.
However NEW SHERIFF in town...(girl on a moped!) Tickets everywhere!!
Come home Tuesday to find another.... oh well it's only another £30.
Actually found out she lives local ( Girlfriend knows her!) So may be parking outside her front window for a week as there's no double yellows there!

A couple of years ago myself and a friend went to Croydon one night to see a show. I drove there and thought I'd checked the parking regulations correctly once I'd parked up, it was after 6:30pm and though I didn't have to pay the meter, well, that's how I read it. Got back later, nothing on the screen.
After a couple of weeks two parking fines turned up, each with a different time stamp of the offence. Because I hadn't paid the reduced fine in the alloted time the fine was now going up to £100 each. I obviously hadn't read the signs right and it appears a ticket was put on my window but someone must have removed it and so I was then re-issued with another ticket later on in the evening, which again someone must have removed.
I wrote to the council stating the facts and that I believe I shouldn't have to pay two fines for one parking offence. They wrote back with one new fine at the initial discounted sum.
Definitely make a complaint, even if you have to pay it, it should be at the reduced price.
