Excellent, thanks for that. I think if it comes down to it I'll really test my advocacy skills and go represent myself in court. Might be an expensive lesson but I'd like to be a thorn in the side of this big corporation, if only for a brief moment before I get duly admonished. Then I'll plead poverty and an extended period over which to pay the fine. And if I win! I'll hire out my services to every other poor bugger who gets a private corporation parking ticket. I am sick of being Miss Compliant.
