Got an Unfair £195 Parking Ticket,built a Tool That Helped 10k People Fight Back
Key topics
The creator of Resolvo, a tool that helps people appeal parking tickets, sparked debate by sharing their success story - having assisted 10,000 people fight back against unfair fines - alongside a link to their website. Some commenters were skeptical, questioning whether the post was just a thinly veiled advertisement, while others pointed out that appealing a ticket is a gamble since paying quickly often results in a reduced fine. The author clarified that appealing within 14 days puts the fine on hold, allowing users to still pay a reduced amount if their appeal is unsuccessful. As the discussion unfolded, it became clear that the tool has been a game-changer for many, but its value is also being weighed against the potential risks of appealing a ticket.
