rabbit_stu Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) Well having waited 5 months, I finally recieved a text from my mother, saying a letter from exeter had arrived. I managed to leave work early, charged home signed the licences, picked up the mrs and off to the gun room to collect my .22lr. Mrs stayed with the car as i had no change for pay and display. Purchace rifle and ammo, couldn't be happier! walking back to the car, red sticker and the mrs in tears! Some jobs worth parking wardens given her so a preaching to she started crying, £100 parking ticket, and in the excitment, she managed to turn the lights on and now the car wont start! get a jump start off someone in the car park but my leads are nackered! Luckily someone else has some spare leads! On our way, stop to get cash out to give back to mother, machine dispenses £200 quid in £5 notes!!!!!!!! Then to top it all off, my biggest permission, and the one thats the other side of my road, has sold the shooting rights so can't shoot there any more!!!!!! What a day, atleast my licences are here i guess Edited March 22, 2012 by rabbit_stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeds chimp Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 was it a council ticket or private company??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLuke Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 If its a private ticket do not pay it. Regardless of the letters they send. Let me know if it is and will point in right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_evil Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 At £100 I'd assume it is? I thought council tickets were £75 or £35 if paid within a week £100 seems excessive unless they've ramped up the prices since I got my ticket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbit_stu Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Yeh, its was a private one, and someone that drinks in the pub next to it reakons he never pays them. just dont want to get into an endless legal situation that cost me loads! i've got 7 days to pay it at £75 or £100 quid after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedwards1966 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Not a perfect day then, but not too bad. No doubt the missus has recovered, you got the car started, got a gun and you don't have to pay the private fine. All that will happen is you'll get a little more junk mail from them until they give up, so keep the money and use it for something useful (aka shooting stuff). Pity about losing a permission though.

rabbit_stu Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Im insured on my dads car. according to the law, on private land the driver has to pay, unless this cannot be proved as the owner was not driving. so hopefully wont have to bother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_evil Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Were you parked on private land or was it a council parking area with the fake traffic wombles ? Either way you don't need to pay the private company, its the same for private wheel clamps in public areas and in theory with those you could probably even sue them for vandalism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbit_stu Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I'll check the ticket tonight, but pretty sure its a private firm. cheers guys, might be able to have a clay lesson instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLuke Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I would check on pepipoo.com They have helped me recently and are full of free information. The most difficult is not to buckle when they keep writing to you. They will also address the letters to your dad (the legal owner) so you need to convince him they are harmless too.
