A woman was wrongly given a £0.00 parking ticket then chased up for the
non-existent fine weeks later. Josh Woodley, 40, was ticketed in Abbey
Wood, south east London despite having paid £3.80 to park via text.
She thought nothing more of it until she received a letter from Bexley Council
demanding she pay her £0.00 fine with 28 days or face court action.
Josh said: "At first I was furious because I knew I had paid but when I
actually looked at it, it had ‘no pounds, no pence’ on it. I don’t know
how much it costs them to post these things – they could be better using
the funds for more important things.
"There is a part of me that wants to send a cheque to them for no
pounds, no pence but I don’t want to waste a stamp." A council spokesman
said both notices were issued by mistake and the “fine” has been cancelled.
