"Hi.. im here to pay a parking ticket is cash ok "..

"Yeah.. cash is fine sir"

"Ok il just get it out my bag"

Places cash on table on floor on her pretty much everywhere lol

Then the line.

"We dont accept that"

 

Literally a minute after stating she would accept cash

Stupid thing is, as many of the comments indicate on the video, I believe AU has a law against paying fines over $35 in coins, which sort of kills it for him. To my knowledge we have no such law here.

 

I was once told by a debt collector when I was very young, that the best way to get him, or any other debt collector off my back, was to offer them 5pence. The reason being, that our law in the UK, states that if someone attempts to make payment with a silver coin, with the queens head minted into it, it's actually a crime to refuse it, regardless the size of the debt.

Definitely illegal to pay a large debt with small denominations.

 

There was that boolsheet viral about someone paying apple with a billion squid worth of quarters or some such crap...........load of tosh.

 

You can use £1 coins, which would really defeat the point of it I guess!

 

"Coins are legal tender throughout the United Kingdom for the following amount:

 

£5 (Crown) - for any amount

 

£2 - for any amount

 

£1 - for any amount

 

50p - for any amount not exceeding £10

 

25p (Crown) - for any amount not exceeding £10

 

20p - for any amount not exceeding £10

 

10p - for any amount not exceeding £5

 

5p - for any amount not exceeding £5

 

2p - for any amount not exceeding 20p

 

1p - for any amount not exceeding 20p"

Interesting info. I think the debt collector was talking about partial debt payment as opposed to full payment of the debt, i.e. if I offered to pay part of the debt, he had to accept it, provided it was 'legal tender'. Considering the phrase 'legal tender' appears to only apply, if you're using the denomination that corresponds to the amounts above, provided you're paying part of the debt that's small enough, the payment must be accepted? In theory, that can be applied to paying any debt, in part, whether the creditor likes it or not?

I knew about the coppers but not the silvers :thumbs:

 

So we got £30.40 and the rest in £1 coins if you want to do something similar here.

 

Ref the vid: Pouring the change over the table was a dickhead move, and as videos say, he still owes the $60, probably more considering I'm sure that was an early payment fee. :bangin:
