Default Need brake experts

I was trying to park my car on my drive way but after i pull up my e-brake my car still rolls back, I have no problem when i park my car on a flat surface but when i park my car on my drive way which is kind like steep hill, no matter how hard i pull up my e-brake my car still rolls back. I replaced my rear brake pads/rotors and i still have the same problem, could anyone tell me what is going on, I did my e-brake adjustment like a month ago, could it be too tight and cable loss its stength? I took it to the dealer but they say everything works fine, they just dont want to fix it, then i took it to somewhere else, some says its too tight and some says that it cant be adjusted, what should i do?

Your rear shoes need to be adjusted, assuming this has rear drum brakes, easy fix. Post if you need help.

yeah it sounds like you need to tighten up the cables.

pull off the arm rest and start turning that middle nut between the cables.
