This council will do anything to get you
Recieves a parking charge for entering a bus lane late at night, where the lane markings are unclear and the letters are faded on shirley road.
Appeals, rejected. Fair.
Tries to pay. Website gives an error. Tries again, same thing.
Manages to pay another fine at the same time (completely at fault).
Writes to the council stating there is an issue. Would prefer to pay online rather than phone or cheque.
Hears nothing back.
Charge increases. Email representation immediately explaining situation and update. Nothing in return. This email is attached to the case though.
Calls in to ammend this. Given the proverbial finger.
Genuine attempts made to pay. Paid another too. Their service doesn't work, makes me pay more for waiting on a reply.
Southampton council well done.
