Snidey parking ticket! How unfair is this? Can we do anything?

Get this; DP parked up in Stockport in February, bought a parking ticket and stuck it in the window.

When he got back he'd been given a penalty because the ticket had slipped from the window. He wrote and appealed as he did have a valid ticket, and included the ticket in the letter to prove it.

It took 9 months to get a reply to the letter, in which they said it was tough and we needed to pay even though we had bought a ticket. DP responded appealing again to say that it wasn't his fault that the glue on the back of the ticket was defective.

They have responded with a court summons, unless we pay £100.

Is it just me or is this really unfair? Is there anything we can do to get out of this as we are totally skint and it's not like we were parking without paying!

Any advice?

Brilliant, good to hear that other people have had them written off! I have no intention of paying this, we're skint FFS! Have emailed the chap on the link who says he offers advice, will keep you posted!
