Got a £50 parking ticket off Westminster City Council in May. Wrote a letter to complain, but my complaint was rejected. I did pay for my parking ticket, but when the ticket was running out, I renewed the ticket and moved my car 15 metres forward towards my friend`s house. Max stay was 4 hours which I was well within, so the bastards basically gave me a ticket for moving 15 metres!
I found this website ticketbusters.co.uk, it`s £10 to register... Anyone tried it and is it worth doing or is there anyone else that can help in these situations? Otherwise I might write to them and offer to send them a cheque for £50 to a charity of their choice - my gripe is not about the money I just don`t want to line Westminster council pockets for handing out pointless fines...
RE: Parking tickets - are ticket busters any good!!

Cracking toast, Gromit! ... If found, please return this person to the insane asylum, as it would really annoy them if you do that :¦
