Summary
Is this news? You got miffed because someone caught you out with a novel reminder when you didn't bother paying. I missed a parking payment last week. The payment was 3.20, the fine was £50. Fair cop?
Seen too many mates done over by companies not paying their way, and on occasions going in to liquidisation still not having paid. And in Britain they're protected. Get over it, you messed up, you should be a little bit ashamed, but we'll forgive you. You heard of direct debit?
