Thanks for the advice. The only thing is that the car is in my name not my mums, and just registered at my mums address as thats where it was kept before it was stolen recently (yet another drama). I'm assuming this wont make a difference tho. Thanks for the advice again.

I'm currently having a little spat with Excel at the moment. Back in June/july i parked up in the peel centre and had to run into a shop to use the toilets with my little girl as she was feeling ill. Afterwards i came out to put a ticket on the car and found a nice big fat excel ticket on the car. Thye warden had literally just written it, i explained to her the situation and she said it was "tough as i'd had my ten minutes". I wrote to excel explained the situation and appealed. I got a letter back saying my appeal was under consideration. Next letter i got was a straight "you now owe us £100". This was written to the cars registered address which is my mums. They have obviously done a DVLA search for this. I wrote back to excel and have basically stated my address and my local county court and have told them i will be seaking to transfer to this court should they issue in any other court and will be seeking costs against them. I have now received a letter from CCSCollect on behalf of Excel saying i have now got a few days to pay 125 quid (its gone up again) or they will really be issuing proceedings. This letter was also sent to the DVLA registered address. hey have obviously just ignored the letter i have sent them. I have basically just ignored this, but am now wondering if i've done the right thing. From what i've read i quite fancy my day in court againast these money grabbing ********. Can anyone offer any advice?
