Parking tickets - are ticket busters any good!!

Rich_H (Competent) posted this on Thursday, 30th June 2005, 15:25

Got a £50 parking ticket off Westminster City Council in May. Wrote a letter to complain, but my complaint was rejected. I did pay for my parking ticket, but when the ticket was running out, I renewed the ticket and moved my car 15 metres forward towards my friend`s house. Max stay was 4 hours which I was well within, so the bastards basically gave me a ticket for moving 15 metres!

I found this website ticketbusters.co.uk, it`s £10 to register... Anyone tried it and is it worth doing or is there anyone else that can help in these situations? Otherwise I might write to them and offer to send them a cheque for £50 to a charity of their choice - my gripe is not about the money I just don`t want to line Westminster council pockets for handing out pointless fines...

I think the rule is you must leave the location (street) by the end of your 4 hours, so moving it 15 metres still left you breaking the law.
