Hi
Hope someone here can give me some advice. I have had a look through the topics and see the name of Armtrac coming up regularly. I parked in a car park in Falmouth yesterday and put in £2.20 (for two hours) into the ticket machine, took the ticket and placed it on the dash board. Came back 1.5 hours later to find a Parking Charge Notice on the windscreen. We were puzzled as we had paid for two hours. However, looking at the ticket the fee is shown as £2 and the expiry time 30 minutes before we got back to the car. It would appear that the 20p was not accepted by the ticket machine or it is faulty. Having done some research on KBT Cornwall Ltd trading as Armtrac Security Services it would appear that the best advice is to ignore them. is this still the case? The ticket that has been issued is really poorly hand written and I can't work out which car park I was supposed to be in as it is unreadable. Any advice gratefully accepted. Regards Paul |

Re-sent details of the incorrect signage to the DVLA using the FOI@dvla.gov.uk via hotmail as the original may not have got through due to the large file size of the photo.
Also sent an email to Jonathan Griffin, Director, at the Maritime Museum. Polite but pointing out that they may want to avoid further embarrassment as they got last year - http://www.falmouthpacket.co.uk/news/cornw...r_park__fines_/ , etc. Scarily enough, I'm quite enjoying this. The British thing of the little guy getting back at stupid bureaucracy. If only I'd known of this forum when my partner got a fine from parking at the local Aldi. |
