Henri   10 #13 Posted September 26, 2015 They won't get a warrant without first taking you to court, at which point with the evidence the OP has a judge will dismiss the case.  Hi, have you had first hand experience of this ?

muckymurphy   10 #14 Posted September 26, 2015 there are traffic people on this forum who will tell you to pay it of course, their sordid livelihoods depend on frightening the vulnerable and robbing the workers who stand to lose wages IF they have to attend a tribunal. if the council had to pay costs to everyone who won their appeal, they would be more positive about when they issued tickets. you have my advice -WRITE THE LETTER AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS!

denlin   12 #15 Posted September 26, 2015 To OP, you knew or had a good idea that it was a yellow line unless that was the first time you had ever parked there and it sounds like you were on a mission from the comment about maintaining the roads. If you think a yellow line needed repainting you should have rung Amey. Likelihood is you thought you'd chance it even though you knew so your best bet is to hold your hands up. pay up and put it down to experience. You won't win and it will cost you more in the end Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
peak4 Â Â 210 #16 Posted September 26, 2015 As per Kidley's suggestion, head for THIS FORUM on Pepipoo, register with them and post up scanned copies of both sides of the tickets and any other correspondence. Make sure you anonymise them first by blanking out anything referring to your own personal details, registration, case numbers etc. You will likely receive help from genuine experts in the field.

Bargepole23 Â Â 337 #18 Posted September 26, 2015 If ever in Doubt in road markings or notices, always play safe even if you have to walk some distance to find a suitable place then you will have peace of mind when returning to your motor, remember its a waste of time arguing with a traffic warden, its a well known fact that the Wardens have a full frontal labotomy on leaving, One flew over the cuckoos nest Training school. Â It's a well known fact that SF posters ridiculing the intelligence of others should spend a bit more time proof reading their own posts, removing the random capitals, and correcting the poor spelling.

Cyclone   10 #24 Posted September 27, 2015 Hi, have you had first hand experience of this ?  It's how the law works. Bailiffs can't be appointed until a court has made an order against you and you've defaulted on it.  ---------- Post added 27-09-2015 at 10:47 ----------  To OP, you knew or had a good idea that it was a yellow line unless that was the first time you had ever parked there and it sounds like you were on a mission from the comment about maintaining the roads. If you think a yellow line needed repainting you should have rung Amey.

You won't win and it will cost you more in the end  Of course he'll win. If the yellow line was badly degraded then it can't be enforced.
