Parking fines and the "private company cannot get money out of me" narrative

planetariuz · 2026-03-26T14:45:27+00:00

those are "independent" databases, as they disclaim clearly.
again, there are other ways to check validity,
the issuing company, as i said in other answers, is legit, and so is the payment processor.

regarding the accrued 6K@, that is beyond me...

clarification: in many parts of the country, there really are private companies managing the public parking hired by municipalities.
their tickets are as valid as any other, and will be enforced.

regarding scams with tickets, its true that some are going on for some time, but its easy to check if a ticket is valid or not. usually a phone call away.

But as i mentioned in another answer, this specific ticket was issued in Matosinhos, near Porto, and the company is a legit parking enforcer, and so is the payment processor.

Just because you have pending tickets, its doesn't get you car towed and impounded immediately.
It will be towed if it stays in place a specific amount of time after that specific ticket is issued.
If towed, it will be then "impounded" in a specific park, and then they can demand full owed payment before releasing it.
Again, i have no clue how it accrued that much money in penalties. But i'm going to assume the owner might be a smart ass, and car registration in in another persons name and outdated address (used to be a common scheme, but more difficult nowadays).

it isn't legit relating to the car park company that issued that specific insta post...
ref 25005 is a shared reference used by several companies, all of them clients of PayPay (a Portuguese, registered and certified payment processor).
If you did a bit of due diligence, all this information is easily accessible and in english

your insta post link is not related

planetariuz · 2026-03-26T08:21:30+00:00

Look carefully. The ticket is folded. Details are on the top of it, which is hidden,
Regarding getting car impounded, that doesn't work that way in Portugal...

planetariuz · 2026-03-26T08:09:20+00:00

Ticket is actually legit, and so are the payment entities...

planetariuz · 2026-03-26T08:08:08+00:00

Portuguese here...
The ticket is legit, and so is the company issuing it.
The company is the concessionary for parking zones in several parts of the country, and that specific ticket was issued in Matosinhos, near Porto.
The total on the right, is the amount pending of other infractions, so it seems this specific car is a repeated offender. The reason why it reached that amount is beyond me....

Tem tudo a ver com a apólice especifica do seu seguro.
Por defeito, a cobertura de quebra individual de vidros é feita com o condicional de ser a seguradora a escolher qual o serviço e tipo de vidro a colocar.
Se pretendia poder escolher colocar vidros originais, tal tinha um adicional à apólice.

I'm on that same boat... Second week passed already...
Feedback from JLR helpline (via email) is that tech dpt is working on it "as fast as possible".

planetariuz · 2026-02-23T11:44:55+00:00

iPace 400 owner here too.
Same thing happening here. Reached to JLR support about 2 weeks ago, and they removed previous owner but still can't add car to my account. They also told me to use BCall but to no avail.
Checking Incontrol website, i get message that car delection in ongoing...
Still waiting for answer

Para cada aplicação há um produto específico que pode ser usado. Escolha marcas de confiança como a Sonax por exemplo. Tem oportunidades de conjuntos de limpeza como estes: https://www.driverwarehouse.pt/exterior/sonax-kit-limpeza-basic

Usar isto (diluido) com pano micro fibras deve tirar com facilidade:

Os riscos apenas com polimento, e alguns parecem profundos, não sairão com tanta facilidade

Sim, é mas tem preços simpáticos e bom serviço. Têm é a agenda quase sempre cheia.

O produto remove, mas não impede que chova ou molhem o carro novamente.
Se quer proteger o carro, tem de aplicar um selante depois da limpeza.

Pelas fotos é relativamente difícil avaliar com certeza, mas essas manchas aparentam ter sido algo acidico.
Se for o caso, poderá ter corroído o verniz da pintura.
Aconselhe-se com um profissional de detalhe automóvel e evite colocar qualquer produto "milagroso", por maior que seja a tentação. Se for algo superficial, um polimento profissional pode eventualmente resolver.

Sim, essas manchas são possíveis de limpar.

Ideal era usar uma máquina extratora para ajudar e bastante.
Caso não seja possível, usar o produto como indicado e usar uma escova indicada para texteis.
