What's the fines for? Are they parking tickets, were they issued correctly, do they have the correct wording on them? 1st thing to check is does it have 'date of issue' on the ticket? Not just the date on the rip off slip that you send back, but on the top part of the ticket it must also say 'date of issue'. Check this thread: http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general-consumer-issues/5232-your-parking-ticket-may.html Deemacperth's quite good on that, he's fighting Westmister I think. and Seylectric was fighting one up near blackpool or something.

No, parking bays are adjudged to be placed on top of yellow lines, not as breaking them. It's the same with zebra crossings and hatch coamings and the like. You're actually meant to follow the line back to find the correct T bar. Where the line ends or joind double yellow lines or the like. If theres been quite substantial relaying of the street and you find disruptions in the painting of the line, then you can consider that as a disfunctional line. What you could do is ask the council for the TRO (Traffic regulation Order) for your street, because you may find that they haven't expressed restrictions on parking correctly.

Yeah, you can claim them back as it's a quantifiable expense. keep the receipts though if it goes to court. You simply add it as a cost on your N1 form.

The Data Protection Act simply says that you've to provide them with as much information as you can provide. If you don't know your account numbers, don't worry.

What's an Allocation hearing then? How does that differ?

I was getting worried about that, thank god i stumbled across this thread.

I really don't think you've hit it off on the right foot here Hodgy boy. But anyway, the DPA states you have to give them as much information to help them as you can. If you don't know the account numbers then date of birth, time of account and what address you had it at will work. As previous people have said, write back to them stating they are in breach.

I'm starting off today. Hello all.

Hello there, lets get them.
