You can't ignore parking fines, can you?

Re: You can't ignore parking fines, can you?

Well, I've just gotten a £60/£100 parking ticket because the cinema I've been going to for years and not had to pay to park at before now requires you to log in your numberplate to quality for free parking at the large car park for the leisureworld complex. Of course I didn't notice this. I sent a message to the parking eye appeals website with a photo of my box office receipt to see if they'll let me off.

I've checked 61shirley's Youtube channel (now called Daniel Bostock) and incredibly he still hasn't gotten in trouble. In one of his recent videos he's ringing government departments and financial advice hotlines asking what happens exactly if you don't pay tax. No one seemed to give him a proper answer.

I tried mentioning this subject of declining to contract to my dad but he just got annoyed and refused to discuss it. If I was anything like Daniel Bostock he would probably strangle me.

At worst you should get a popla code. GPEOL is your friend

Re: You can't ignore parking fines, can you?

the bailiff claimed he was collecting for an outstanding PCN for Nottinghamshire Council, the poster says "I am not a criminal" to which the bailiff retorts " You must have committed a CRIME, that's why I am here" he intimated that the PCN had the same standing imho as a court fine. Now that is prima facie misrepresentation, council PCN is decriminalised, notice the Berlingo type van in the background, obviously worth £200 van fee (not)

Thing is when people say things like that, it makes it sound like 61shirley is in the right but the truth is the law won't be on his side. Yes, I realise that big thick baliff probably said various inaccurate things (the "It must be a crime, that's why we're here" line was funny, made him sound like he thought he was a police officer) or didn't use the right terminology but 61shirley has deluded himself into thinking the council has no right to give him parking fines, so he thinks he won that little battle with the baliffs, not seeming to realise he is not going to win in the long run (or if he does then he think he'll be some kind of martyr) The only thing I'd agree with him on is possibly that £57 callout fee is taking the piss a little.

Don't know if anyone's still interested but I just saw this bloke's latest video, things seem to be hotting up a little: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4grHHrEQU8

Most interestingly, he says he's going to be interviewed for a BBC documentary.

Is there an issue in terms of the fact that he is filming the two bailiffs when they have effectively withdrawn their consent?

Re: You can't ignore parking fines, can you?

Exactly, somewhere down the line it will catch up with him big time, however the bailiff from Bristols & Stupor, was silly claiming a civil PCN is a criminal matter on film. He has left himself wide open to criticism for his words at the door.

But criticism isn't going to hurt the bailiff is it? Sticks + stones and all that.....the person avoiding the fine will ultimately pay the biggest price cos it is going to bite him HARD on the bum.

It's still dangerous telling people you can just ignore these and they'll eventually go away! Clearly the last bit is supposed to imply the debt has been returned to the council and that's the end of the matter, thus the system works. IT DOESN'T!

Worked for me, interestingly the bailiff claimed he was collecting for an outstanding PCN for Nottinghamshire Council, the poster says "I am not a criminal" to which the bailiff retorts " You must have committed a CRIME, that's why I am here" he intimated that the PCN had the same standing imho as a court fine. Now that is prima facie misrepresentation, council PCN is decriminalised, notice the Berlingo type van in the background, obviously worth £200 van fee (not):rofl::rofl:



The bailiffs added a VISIT FEE of £57.60 to to the bill of £334.24, making it closer to £400 to pay for the privelige of being filmed, during their visit and were from our step buddies at Bristols & Hooters

I'll look forward to the supposed documentary. What a shame you never hear the true end to these stories - very dangerous!

If I said well done would you take a fence?

Re: You can't ignore parking fines, can you?

I peed on a coppers lap,,puked all over him..and a lot more besides.....but in my defence I was only a baby and he was my Dad msl:

I'd forgotten that detail (it just seemed too surreal) but I believe you are correct.

I shall have to take your word for that, as I've never piddled into a policeman's hat.

And that she may ask a uniformed constable to doff his helmet so that she may use it as a chamber-pot?

I rather doubt that tale, if only because the helmet worn as part of a constable's uniform is usually pierced with ventilation holes - it would be like peeing into a colander!
