How do i get away with not paying a parking fine (UK)?

i parked my car at the train station and forgot to pay - only realised 5 mins after getting on the train! i phoned the station but they said it was a different company that does fines so there was nothing they could do. I cam back and had a £25 fine! I'm a new driver - could i use this? any tips?! thanks:)

Bad luck

Whatever you do DO NOT phone the police and say the car is stolen. That is probably the stupidest possible suggestion - hope it was intended as a joke.

Just put it down to experience, accept that you made a mistake, pay up and move on. It happens to us all
phone the police NOW and tell em your cars been stolen
I doubt it they are not easy things to get out of.
Call the company that does the fines and make arrangements to pay it. You can't, and shouldn't, try to get away with cheating the company out of its ability to survive. Someone's salary is paid by those parking fees.
buy a car with a continental plate and the parking attendants never bother you again.
It's highly impossible to have the situation in YOUR favour, since getting money out of these company is like getting blood out of the stone.

Unless, you can prove that you're genuinely suffering from AMNESIA, there's almost a snowball's chance in hell that you'll get away from not paying.
pay up! it's a learning expeience - albeit an annoying one.
Unfortunately when you park in any car park you enter a contract to pay their fee, albeit the fee for parking or the penalty fee for breaching their rules.

Thus you will have to pay, otherwise they will probably try taking you to court, adding in the court fees and then if you do not pay they would seek enforcement, probably with balliffs the £40 fee becomes an extortionate sum once balliffs are involved.

Some parking meters now accept payment by mobile, but even then you would have breach the "display" element of their rules and be liable.
