It's people like who you drive up the cost of council tax. Wanting
compensation when a quick phone call will probably sort it all out.

what fantasy London are you living in?

One where I have had a couple of parking tickets revoked by making a
simple phone call or writing a short letter. Both of which took up less
time than my contributions to this thread.

i am astonished, and stand corrected. my local authority demands something
in writing in all circumstances. i understood this to be custom and practice
across London.

absolutely. i wasn't suggesting that someone invent costs just to try
and claim them back.


My mum with her blue badge was given a Parking Ticket for having the front
of her car just sticking out of the bay onto the yellows not blocking
anything. To get it resolved, all that was needed was a stamp and a strongly
worded letter.
