They are ruthless, I was parked illegally and had a stroke, still stung me after a letter. I even included the medical letters.

Option 1 is useless, try finding a bank that carries that number of coins for starters: plus they don't have to accept coins, been proven in the past by previous miscreants who have tried to do the same.
Option 2 will just p*** you off eventually having to make many payments in your own time.
Option 3 nah luck is not on your side unfortunately.
Option 4 not going to be responsible to giving you hideous ideas.

Option 1 again, pay it properly, end your misery and move on in life.

Cheers

IF.. and that's a big IF...

I could always buy a super cheap POS car.
Remove all the ID numbers, so it's not traceable back to me... and park it there just out of spite..

Just a mad thought.

Rightly or wrongly, knowingly or unknowingly, you parked the car in a spot that you weren't supposed to, and you were unfortunate enough to have someone that cared notice said parking. As much as it may pain you to do so, pay the fine and get on with your life. It's not worth the angst to dwell on this any longer.

I've had to pay two parking fines in my life, both of which I wrote to the respective councils about, requesting leniency. Both of which received the reply akin to yours. I dutifully paid them, and whilst it hurt at the time, both instances are now nothing but a distant memory that I had forgotten about until this thread.

Don't allow your experience to impact you in any way other than being more careful where you park in the future.
