replace your cables, they are stretched beyond adjustment, and/or seized.

There is an adjustment on the parking brake cable, but if it's already beyond tightenting or too badly rusted then it's best to replace it...

The adjuster is near the rear axel and it's pretty obvious when you lay down beside the rear wheel (in front of the rear wheel)...just give it a shot of penetrating oil and let it sit for a while before trying to tighten it...that's also how you replace them if you have too...just undo the connectors at both ends and replace the line...about an hour even if you don't know what you're doing...

9 times out of 10 its one or both of the rear cables, just replace them.
