| 23. Author: jake89 Date: Thu 13th Mar 2025. 10:20 One of my friends is getting pulled into court next week for an unpaid ticket. Private car park they had permission to be in. There`s a group in Facebook that offers advice (just search for UK parking fines). Reply |
| 24. Author: red-star-par Date: Thu 13th Mar 2025. 12:29 jake89, Thu 13 Mar 10:20 Ooh, up in court, the shame. Let us know how that goes. I think most people have been ignoring these fines, but from time to time there are some horror stories where that approach goes wrong Reply |
| 25. Author: jake89 Date: Thu 13th Mar 2025. 17:38 I`ll get the name of the firm. I saw it again recently as I think they do the car park by Dunelm in Kirkcaldy. The feeling seems to be that the firm is hoping to encourage resolution (e.g. cough up the cash) and cancel the court date last minute. They`re sticking to their guns as they were parked legitimately and have all the evidence to support it. The firm has probably wasted more in admin fees than the ticket is worth. VCS Ltd is the company. Post Edited (Thu 13 Mar 18:56) Reply |
| 26. Author: GG Riva Date: Mon 17th Mar 2025. 18:32 OorWullie, Thu 13 Mar 08:28 It`s an invoice, not a fine, Wullie. There is an outside chance they`ll take you to a small claims court and you might have to defend yourself. If you lose, you`ll have to pay the £100 plus court costs. Chances are they`ll send you some more letters to try and scare you into paying and then drop it. Enough people pay up to make it worthwhile for them. The annoying thing is that the DVLA make money by giving these companies the name and address of the registered owner of the vehicle.  Not your average Sunday League player. Reply |
| 27. Author: DBP Date: Mon 17th Mar 2025. 20:08 Why do the dvla give out the information… there must be conditions surely? If I wanted to know the contact details of someone who owned a car, could I just send a request for the details from the the dvla? Reply |
| 28. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Tue 18th Mar 2025. 11:16 Does anyone ever get these fines and just throws up their hands, says it`s a fair cop, I was taking the piss out of the free facilities offered, and I`ll cough up? And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |
| 29. Author: Playup_Pompey Date: Tue 18th Mar 2025. 11:34 I was down south at weekend and parked up in a carpark, Pay and display machine had been vandalised and push to pay online, clicking through the faff trying to pay I was getting pop ups about addding recurring subscriptions etc. Thankfully through my banking multi factor authentication it`s weeded through and cancelled payments etc as suspected fraud so not even paid for the carpark so will see if i get a ticket through.

| 30. Author: Athletico Date: Tue 18th Mar 2025. 15:17 We got one for Tesco Fire station, we left about 15 mins after the allowed time. 2 hours or so pottering about town, getting a haircut, lunch etc. Thankfully I spent a whole £6.30 in Tesco on the way back to the car, sent them a copy of the card transaction and it was dropped.

| 31. Author: jake89 Date: Tue 18th Mar 2025. 18:29 Friend did end up having to appear in court, plead their case and now has a second court date. They`ll win, but worth being aware that you might want to save yourself the hassle and just pay up if you genuinely did break the rules. It`s bully boy tactics effectively. Reply |
| 32. Author: parsmad68 Date: Wed 19th Mar 2025. 13:09 What I have always wondered is parking at football matches in Dundee where they put cones out then fine people. If you are parked the day before and were staying at a friends,say. Then they place the cones down, you get a fine. How does that work? I suppose there must be signage? Reply |
