Three very punchable faces to be fair.
The head guy in the middle always comes across as kind when evicting poor people.
But I’m not convinced when he says confidently to wound-up 30 year old MMA types, “go ahead, I’ve seen it all before”.
I get the impression you're feeling somewhat irritated by the OP, and I can't blame you. It it were me who alerted you to the thread, I apologise.

What kind of name is pepipoo for a site anyway? Sounds like something a posh middle-class mum in Fiveways Village would say to her toddler. 'Toby do you want to go pepipoo?'

Thank you to everyone for your help and advice, sorry I’ve been a bit slow in replying.
I reluctantly paid the amount, the original fault fell with me not changing over the address on the log book. I checked back through my emails and we sold the car 4 days after we moved so a bit unfortunate but in the end I decided I didn’t want the stress of a bailiff potentially turning up at the house and clamping the car or giving my wife a hard time when I’m at work.
I still think at times like this it’s awful that councils are selling or passing on debts to these absolute dogs. I am lucky that I’m in a position where I can afford to pay, It’s upsetting to think what it must be like for the people who end up in situations like this that simply cannot pay.
Shame on the councils do this, especially at a time when we should be encouraging people to stay in the UK for holidays.
As for the post not being forwarded on, it would have been nice if she did but isn’t obliged to do so I can’t really look to blame her.

To be fair, what else could the council do? You had a penalty for parking and it only escalated due to the coincidental set of circumstances that followed that meant they could not trace you easily. I'd also arrange for post to be forwarded by Royal Mail for at least 3 months after you move.
Finally, I've been to Blackpool twice and anything that discourages people going there is a good thing!!
Fiveways Village
Somehow I imagine some of the mums with toddlers called Toby actually tell people they live in Fiveways Village.
Yes odd name for a parking website.
Here is just a simple thought.
When a driver parks on the street in Brighton, Lewes etc and let’s say pays to park but overstays the time paid for, as you know a warden will issue a ticket and it’s fixed to the vehicle windscreen.
In a council car park in Blackpool it would be useful if the same happened, the op would have known on his return to his car he had overstayed or forgotten to buy a ticket.
I must admit I occasionally use a council owned car park in Seaford but I always make a note of how long I have paid for to park.
I have never had a ticket so I’m not 100% sure if the wardens fix tickets to windscreens in this car park.

True, but you don't know if one was put on the windscreen and some scrote removed it!
Here's another thought, don't overstay or don't park where you're not supposed to park or a host of other things.
Sounds like a good deal to me, I'd happily pay £350 if it guaranteed I never returned to Blackpool.

The one thing I’m sure of is there was no ticket on the car. I tried to call Blackpool council this week and for parking it’s only an automated service.
I don’t have all the answers for a better solution, but would start with not selling them on to company’s that add hundreds of pounds for sending a text message and making a few calls.

Good scam search Blackpool CCTV in car parks for cars registered in the South of England make up some bullshit about a parking ticket the mark gets panicky about bailiffs (still no proof of an outstanding parking ticket supplied by debt collector) mark pays near £400.

Last time I was in Fiveways, I was renting Ghostbusters from Strudwicks on VHS.
I went in there and asked if I could rent Batman Forever but they said I’d have to bring it back next Tuesday.

But the Council hasn't sold the debt has it? It issued a PCN and you didn't pay it, so it took the matter to court and obtained a court order for the debt. The bailiffs are appointed by the court to recover the debt set out in the court order - and the bailiffs' costs fall to the debtor.

My advice is
1: never answer the phone to a number you don’t know, if it’s that important they will leave a message.
I google every number I don’t know, read reviews and 99.99% of the time I then block the number.
2: never pay anything unless you have a paper copy posted to your address, a text or phone call is not proof you owe anything.
3: never seek advice on a social media web site for football, like I did several years ago

Agree with 1 and 2, but 3, come on....I think you need to have the right question though, and if you have the right question, an ability to filter the replies

Wardens? That's so last century!
These things are all managed by camera on entry [time of arrival], camera on exit [time of departure] and number plate recognition - then matched to the ticket your purchased [or didn't].
No need for wardens anymore ...
Fine issue process is almost fully automated.
But as [MENTION=18265]LadySeagull[/MENTION] will say, rule one is never tell them who was driving as parking fines are a drivers offence, not the vehicle owner.
