Thanks for calling me a mug ¬_¬

Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately I didnt do my research before hand and assumed it was all above board. My parents just wanted it out of the way and done with. So we paid up the initial £40 and chalked it up to experience.

Hi, I recently paid a fine to X-Cel Pa rkng (not bad grammer, to fool the search engines sorry) on behalf of my parents, oonly to recieve another letter claiming that it was unpaid and that I owed more money. I paid via their website and when I called to query this I was told that the system had problems and I was required to send a bank statement showing the payment. I refuse to do this, as I have exact time and date of the payment on a RBS receipt yet they simply refuse to do anything about this. If it were upto me I would just forget it, but my parents worry. Can anyone suggest a course of action?

Hi all, ive just come across this website and it seems pretty helpful so I was hoping somebody may be able to give me a little bit of advice. Ive been consistantly working about double, even triple my contracted 10 hours for about 9 months now and Ive heard that if you work more than your contract for 12 weeks or more that its taken as acknowledgment of a new contract or some such. Im asking because even though I can be working up 30-35 hours a week im still only entitled to take holiday time for my 10 hour contract. Thanks.
