Despite your harsh message, I will reply to your actual helpful one as finally after numerous post you have actually offered a new driver advice instead of slandering them. Congrats, if you've done this earlier we would of saved us both a lot of time.
Thankyou for the advice, I do not want debt collectors after me so of course I will need to contact them but I will nt pay.
I did not purchase a ticket as my passenger go out to check parking times, we did not want to stay long so we moved off to leave.
Evidently being a terrible driver, I stalled the car on the slope part near the beach front, other drivers were trying to park behind me so I waited for them to leave. I then parked near the shop, got out for 2 seconds to look for a parking sign myself, could not find one, entered the car and left.
I've already contacted the owner regarding this issue so I am hoping it will be resolved as a misunderstanding.
I am paying my residential fine.
