Jen - a lot of the parking companies in London do not enforce their "fake" tickets. They certainly cannot affect your licence renewals. Their only route to collect the money would be a collections agency or small claims court, both of which are expensive options for the parking companies to persue, unless you owed them a ton of money.

It really would turn out to be a he said/she said battle if it wound up in court, as the tickets arent issued by anyone with "real" authority or under any sworn oaths/etc.

There are lots of lots downtown that arent enforced - the small one with meters behind Starbucks at Richmond/Central for instance. I've parked there for hours on end and never received a ticket.
