Ringo
12 Dec 2017

Charging a 10p convenience fee isn’t breaking the law. If it was, then they should be punished - but not as heavily as stupid idiots who dump their cars on double yellow lines. I’ve never said that lawbreakers shouldn’t be punished.

Just think how many penny chews one could buy with that 10p that I willingly and knowingly parted with. Judging by by the lack of Agrees that you requested, it looks like you’re alone in thinking Ringo is Wrongo... To answer your latest question, if I didn’t pay to park in a chargeable parking place, then I’d quite rightly expect to receive a parking ticket. Likewise if I were stupid ...

You’re talking about a credit card fee for parking in London, I’m talking about a 10p “convenience fee” in Exeter. A fee I readily agree to because of the, erm, convenience that paying for parking this way brings me. I’m too busy in the real world to bother taking ECC to task for something so trivial.

Would you like to expand on your abusive message? Which part of my post is what you call “rubbish”?

So the original question on this thread should be, “Have you ever been forced to use the Ringo service due to pay machines not being capable of accepting the new pound coin, and therefore unnecessarily had the pay the 20p “convenience fee”?  In any other circumstance, the customer chooses to pay the convenience fee. ”PayByPhone” in Exeter charges a 10p convenience fee, which includes the ...

Yet again majorp, you’re talking in riddles All you have to do is, in your own words, explain how we’re being overcharged.

Oh dear. As I thought, no-one who uses ‘Ringo’ etc is being overcharged. Apart from in the paranoid heads of those who are too thick to understand the T&Cs that they willingly agreed to.  In which case, they really aren’t safe to be on the roads...

Thanks for the info Leatash, but that’s not an overcharge because I’m made well aware of the costs, including the minor charges for any optional additional texts, as they’re all clearly identified when one signs up.  It can’t be that, so what does majorp mean by “overcharge”? If I’ve been overcharged then, as he requests, I’ll readily ‘Agree’ with his post

Before I offer my assistance to majorp, could he please advise us of where he believes the overcharge lies. Then I’ll be able to tell him whether or not I may have been overcharged. I’ve used ‘Ringo’ only a couple of times, but regularly use the ‘PayByPhone’ iPhone app in Exeter.

This mess is the work of the Tory party, not those who would rather we remain in the EU. Anyway, weren’t people of a certain ilk whinging about being in the EU for the 40 years since we joined?? A Labour government, under the leadership of the democratically elected Jeremy Corbyn, would not reverse the decision of those that voted in the referendum.
