Gertrude is on the wind up..posted something similarly stupid on an earlier post of mine! Worra tool!!!

I haven't but, gonna e-mail him the link right now!! Thanks again!!

Teleportation device??!! Are you mad? There's no such thing!!! Ha ha!! What I should have done was put on my cape and fly from the car park into the shop.. that way I wouldn't have walked out! (Yes Superman is real!)

:DThanks for everyones help! Gertrude... Think I'll pay the fine now that you've told me to...you're right, it was legally issued as per the guidelines and I should know better than to challenge the system, which quite obviously works..hmmm Anyway, Got another letter in this week... they're really pushing now... they are now demanding the money be paid immediately or else... Bottom line, I know I should just ignore them as per the advice on here, but it's hard... especially as I'm 100% in the right and it's annoying the hell out of me! I've now passed all my information to my lawyer who is gonna get a letter sent out to them.. (not sure how useful that will be, but will update on here if it works??) Also sent an e-mail off to the local rag, but they've ran tons of stories about this car park, and don't want to flog a dead horse! Spoke to Blockbusters staff also, who state they are powerless to assist, but told me that they recieve tons of complaints from customers including the following example which I found outrageous!! 10 o'clock in the morning, a guy parks his car in the car park right in front of the parking warden, brings his dog out from the boot of the car, which is bleeding heavily having been ran over by a car, and runs accross the road to the vets... comes back out an hour later, minus one dead dog. To make matters worse, the stupid woman had also attached a ticket to his bloody windscreen!! I hope for her sake that she wasn't still around when he got out! Anyway, yet again another example of 'justice' being done.

Thanks for your help guys...won't bother writing to them again, and loved the FOAD!!! Think that's what'll happen should they bother to come to my door... one other thing.. how does this affect my credit rating?? had a bit of a stinker about 6 years ago and I'm just getting it back on track now!!?? Thanks again:D

:mad:Just found your site after a bit of browsing.. all very informative...and makes good reading!! Anyway I've a on-going problem with Central Ticketing in Birmingham, which I'm hoping for some assistance with... Parked in the free Blockbuster car park in Falkirk on 14/11/2008, and as I could see another customer remonstrating with a parking warden, I double checked the signs on display to make sure I wasn't in breach of any regulations.. There are a number of signs around the car park stating that this is a customer only car park, and there is a HUGE sign re-inforcing the fact that this facililty is for Blockbusters and 2 other nearby shops.. I went into Blockbusters, and emerged 20 minutes later having bought a number of item to find I had been ticketed... parking warden had disappeared!!! Checking the ticket, I was found to be in contravention as I had parked my car and left the site... there is no other way to get to the shops as it is an enclosed car park!! I wrote to Central ticketing immediately enclosing my reciept from Blockbusters expecting it to be written off, as I hadn't contravened any of their conditions (genuinely).... Instead they wrote to me 2 months later to tell me that my appeal, "On this occasion was un-succesfull.." and that I should pay the fine or face a £135 fine which would increase due to costs and be passed on to a debt collection agency!!!! I wrote to them again clarifying the situation even further stating I would not be paying the fine. I've now recieved a letter ignoring my claims which stated that they will recover the 'debt' through County Court Action, however firstly they will be employing the services of a debt collection agency. How can this company be pursuing a debt which surely can't be lawful as I've committed no violation of their rules, and what will happen if the debt collectors / baillifs come to my door demanding payment??? HELP!!!![ATTACH][ATTACH][/ATTACH][/ATTACH]
