The other day I parked up in town & forgot to get a pay and display ticket. Any way out of paying the £60 fine?

yoo could grovel but I doubt you will get very far.

if there was we all would use it!

Let it be a lesson to you;)

only way I know of is to get a pay and display ticket valid at the time (probably too late to do this now)

:lol:Got to agree:lol:

It's a fruitless exercise!
I once parked near jessops on a pay and display, paid for my ticket, ended up being kept in, lost my baby, got an official letter form jessops with the reason on to give to the parking department, sent it in and guess what? They replied and said tough, it's now gone up to over £100!

I bet they would, I think they should be sent to find Osama Bin Laden!

I thought so too. I have to say though, about a year later a manager at the University (who owned the car park) was wading through some documents and found a letter from me about it. He was disgusted and got in touch with the parking service (who by this time were taking me to court) and put them straight!

"Forgot" - or "couldnt be bothered, i'm only gonna be here a few minutes!". . . ???

I'd speculate that if I'd genuinley forgot, then I'd accept that I have to pay the penalty for my forgetfulness. I'd only be questioning "if I could get out of it" if I kinda knew it was coming, knowing I'd not bought a valid parking ticket. .

Either way, I still think the ticket "suits you, sir. . Ohh!!"

They do, well they don’t but they sell the fine to a recovery agency who will hound you all over the place.

I remember reading a story about a guy somewhere in Europe being chased for a parking fine in some city in the UK. The fine was for his quad but he only uses to go around on his farm! Needless to say they realised they had the wrong guy, but it took a lot of convincing.

If you've got a genuine reason why you think a fine should be waived you can ask for a personal hearing at an arbitration service.

I recall a recent newspaper article saying that your chances of a favourable result were good, certainly much better than writing to ask to be let off. However, you'd probably need a better reason than 'I forgot to get a ticket'!!
