    ARMANDII, one of my customers did the same as your brother. The next time he tried to enter the U.S. they refused entry because he was a 'criminal' and hadn't declared it!

    Loli, as you have the photo of both the tickets on your screen together you should be OK but be prepared for a fight. They may try to argue that you put it there afterwards. There have also been some disputes about whereabouts 'in view' you had it. Don't let them get away with it!

    Shiney....i thought that too....that they might say it was put there afterwards:nonofinger: i just wish i'd gone round the car park looking at other cars to see where others had put thier tickets and see if they'd got a 'ticket'.....mine was put in such a place that i would have to remove it to see where i was driving..... i wouldn't be so cross if i'd have just put it in my bag and not displayed it....i've done that before but got away with it....that would have been my own fault and would expect to pay up....but not this time.....they're in for a fight with this one:paladin:

    PS...if anyone bakes me a cake....shuv a file in it please;)

      Hi Lolimac
      Can I ask who owns the car park i.e. is it council owned or privately owned like NCP or the the car park of a private business such a retail park?

      This was some time ago when the American states weren't exactly co-operating with each other regarding information on traffic offences and the Federal Government wasn't such a data gathering monster as it is now. He's been back several times in the USA [better behaved:snork:] with no problems whatsoever. His one criticism of the States is that it is still relatively easy for even a foreigner to gain false ID cards etc in the different States.:dunno::snork:

      That's a shame, if you get a parking charge on private land, it's much easier to fight. I would suggest you check out the forums on moneysavingexpert.com as there are loads of very helpful people on there :thumbsup:

        Think we must be lucky our town car park is very good, it has three big large areas, one of which gets taken up on market day, the wardens are usually pretty good. Good luck with your appeal lolimac.
