Parking Ticket/Car Towed!
Last December, I had my car towed!
I went to the 'pound' that day and paid the fine for the Grua and thought no more of it.
Had a nasty shock today when at the SUMA office had a bill for 120 Euro for the parking offence.
Can someone clarify that there is a separate bill for the parking offence, different to that what you pay to retrieve your car.
:curse:

Re: Parking Ticket/Car Towed!
The time this happened to me I had to pay the fine at the police station then take the receipt to the Grua to show it was paid, then pay the Grua to get my car back, this was a few years ago and a costly experience, learnt my lesson, always watch VERY carefully now where I park !

I got a parking ticket the day before I came to the UK. It was a real pain trying to find where to pay it, took several hours wandering around different buildings. Fifty four euros even though I paid it the next day which earned me a discount!

Ouch! That would have helped pay towards your kennel fees, wouldn't it Sarah? 
Nasty shock! Commiserations.

Re: Parking Ticket/Car Towed!
Any news on the job front yet???
Sounds like you're having a tough time at the moment
Wish I could offer some practical help, or some useful advice - but am afraid all I can offer is "virtual" support
Keep your chin up there, Sarah (or I'll keep one of my spare ones up for you, if you like!?
)

Re: Parking Ticket/Car Towed!
Thanks.
No news on job front. Things are a bit up in the air at the moment. OH might be going back to UK for a new job next week. Not ideal situation, but if it works out will go and see him every month or so. Hence the need for reliable kennels for the Ninos!
Home alone with copious amounts of Rioja! Could be worse!
We will see what happens..
