    sue for unfair parking charges?

    So i paid dart charge back in Feb. Today I've received a letter from feckers demanding 70£ for not paying it. It's not the first time councils trying their chances like that (got a letter with penalty for a place with free parking, succesfully appealed). Is there anything to do to rub their noses like sue for 100k or so?

    Deal with the issue. Then send a bill for administration costs for 2 hours at £50 an hour.....

                    I'd rather that we were able to sue companies who cold call us despite being on the TPS register.
