Cars & Transportation Local council parking fines

[Bunk Moreland]

Who has ever ignored one and not paid it (incl ignoring the reminder notices etc)?

What happened? Just interested

Court summons?

Wheel clamped?

Unable to re-register vehicle next year?

We had a conflict over parking payments and a disputed parking position that ran up to about $1500 in unpaid fines.

Debt company will hassle you out, and then final warning before Court intervention.

That was 10 years ago though.

We paid, begrudgingly.

It will probably show up on a credit report too in the future when you apply for a home loan etc.

If it is a private company you can ask them which by-law grants them power to act as a officer of the government, they won't be able to find it, and it is a purely civil case that they must demonstrate a material loss from your being parked too long. That is any spaces elsewhere in the car park = no loss of income because nobody was denied service from your taking up the spot too long.

If it is a council fine then I expect they will record the fine against the license of the person who the car is registered to and unless those fines are paid the license will be suspended.
