Rejected petition Remove Parking Fines from County Court Judgements and Credit Reports

Remove Parking Fines from Credit Reports. A parking fine should not destroy a person's credit rating. A person should not be treated like a criminal for a parking fine. Nothing has been stolen.

More details

Many people's credit ratings have been destroyed due to parking fines. I myself have been a victim of this. I was unable to pass a credit check for an unpaid parking fine. I only became aware of this fine after having decided to look for new accomodation closer to work. As a renter in London, agency's use this credit score. My credit rating was perfect until the parking fine. I think it gross that people are treated like criminals.
