OK heres a story for u guys, theres this tyre shop on gouger street opposite bob jane (or beaurepairs i can't remember exactly), anyways one night i decided to park there as i had done in the past without any trouble ... however when i came back to my car i had received a parking fine, not by the adelaide city council but from some company called Park Fast. had it been by the adelaide city council i wouldn't think twice and i'd pay it ... but giving the fine a second look i noticed that there was no contact details on the fine and the way to pay was pretty dodgy .. ie a PO box on hindley street. now my girl friend who is a lawyer said it looked pretty dodgy and i agreed but being the lazy type of person she is she opted just to pay it since it was 33 if paid in 2 weeks but 55 if taken later. now being the stingy prick that i am, i decided to speak to some others about it ... and so then i decided to call up the adelaide city council and they said they've had heaps of complaints about this particular company and basically said that they have no authority to give out fines and also they should have no way of getting my contact details even if they have my number plates ... so then i decide to call up consumer affairs ... and they told me that this particular company said that they will not be issuing out any more fines from the 11th august 2003 until they get the authority to give out fines (so i guess they will be getting it soon) but i got fined on the 18th WTF?? and the consumer affairs guy told me as of the 27th ie yesterday they still had not had the authority to give out fines ... so there u go ... so baiscally this company is issuing out illegal fines ... anyone got fined by them should go sue them .... a bunch of dodgy mofos basically scheming the honest people who would actually pay out the fines ... but not me!!!
