Can someone help

Pay it asap and try to fight it later, probably be 1/2 of the cost if you pay within 14 days. Dont let it drag out because you will end up paying 10x the original fine
Disgusting that private companies can make so much out of what is effectively a huge scam

Not strictly true. Depends on the company.

I got a letter through the post after visiting Greenwood's in Redcar for a weddings Ng suit fitting and parking in private car park opposite Morrisons.
They claimed I'd overstayed the length of time I paid for. Took a photo of the reg plate but after requesting a photos of my car and the out of date ticket they didn't send any back.

This was 6 years ago and I haven't heard anything from them since.

@Aet290204 Give the lad you went for coffee a call or send him a text, you never know he might want a second opportunity to chat and catch up with you.
 
Don't take it personally, these scumbag companies don't care who they slap a fine on, it's rubbish when it happens, but it's one of those things sadly. As above, talk to the manager at the Starbucks you were at, they can often help.
 
Same has just happened to my lad in a local pub where he's been loads of times before and didn't know there was now a system in place to monitor the car park. He's trying to prove he was a customer. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Can hardly move these days without a camera watching you.

Point taken but it’s a bit hard to put your chin up when it’s already through the floor and you spend most of your days wishing you weren’t here.

Aet, I speak from experience. I had depression after my wife died suddenly, I had counselling and was on anti depression tablets. Was drinking excessively. One morning, I though my late wife would not be impressed with the drinking and taking anti depressants.

I made the decision to stop drinking, stop the tablets and stop the counselling. Radical I know but for me it worked. Not the solution for everyone I know. But keep going, I was not the strongest man but did, largely through my efforts, got myself on an even keel. There’s always hope, pal
 
If it is a private company, and not council, then ignore it and any future letters. Dont enter into any correspondence. I have a draw full going back years, parking eye etc etc etc. They will issue threats but ignore them
 
This thread has just become a load of noise in my head that I don’t want and it’s stressing me more and more
I’m sorry I started it
I’m logging out now

I would expect the majority wouldnt pursue it knowing it was a weak case but I wouldnt ever take the chance, knew someone who ignored letters thinking they would just drop it who ended up in court having to pay thousands

Yep tend to agree, dont rake the chance, as someone rightly pointed out, if you pay early it will most likely be a reduction
 
Sorry AET i hadn't read your request to delete the the thread before i posted i will delete my post.
 
Aet, before the thread is deleted I hope you see this.

Did the date go well? Would you like to see him again?

If you would, just try and put aside the issues around the parking fine as crap as that is, and focus on the positive that you met someone nice. Contact him and make arrangements for lunch or something, if money is an issue for that then it's my treat.

No is the short answer.

Nice enough guy but no attraction.

I’d been talking to him on off for a year.

Oh and I’ve texted him about the fine and got a s***y response back.

I’ve been shaking with nerves all afternoon.

I Went back to bed for a bit to try to get some peace. But couldn’t settle.

Just noises going on in my head all the time.

Wish there was something I could say that would help, I just hope better times are ahead for you.
 
If you can get outside for a walk. If you are rural, find somewhere to sit , relax and hear the birds singing. Simple thing, worth doing it might just relax you a bit
 
Come to a few realisations today.

Shouldn’t have asked for help with this.

Shouldn’t have bothered - the world won’t miss me and I’m better off not here.

Spent most of the day asleep and now I’m wide awake sat here with a penknife next to me.
 
Seriously mate, pm me if you need someone to talk to, even a random stranger on a message board on the other side of the world
 
talk to me AET! You know I go through something similar. You already have my number. I was curled up in a tent with sleeping pills and vodka a few weeks ago, not to end it all.. Just to stay asleep. How ****ed up is that? You aren't alone and crap things do happen but don't take it personally! Why not look to volunteer and help others? I am volunteering arranging stuff for Ukraine, gives me a sense of purpose and doing something that actually matters and keeps me sane
 
The number of responses to your posts shows that people care, I hope you take my advice in the spirit it's intended.
You need to learn to love yourself first before embarking on the dating game, please seek professional advice,your confidence and self esteem need building up.
Set yourself little short term goals like speaking to a different person each day or try and help someone each day.
You are not on your own and there are thousands of people suffering with similar issues.
You can do this mate,I wish you nothing but well.
