Parking Fines; Hydrogen Cars; eBay ID Theft

BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Parking Fines; Hydrogen Cars; eBay ID Theft

Parking fines which may be unlawful, the fate of hydrogen cars and eBay identity theft.

The RAC Foundation says that fines for parking on private land may be unlawful. Plus the change in fate for hydrogen cars and the impact of identity theft on your credit rating.

Drivers could be paying millions of pounds in parking fines that wouldn't hold up in court. Ahead of a test case in the High Court, You & Yours has found a 31% increase in requests to the DVLA for driver information from private parking firms, in order to issue fines.

Hydrogen car technology has been in development for more than twenty years, but it's claimed that a new fuel cell going on sale this year could transform the market for them.

And like many people, Joe Burrows just used eBay to buy and sell items occasionally, until a demand for a £2000 refund revealed that his identy had been copied for fraudulent selling. What impact would ID theft have on someone's credit rating?

Presenter: Peter White
Producer: Joel Moors.
