if you've adjusted the handbrake cable to the max and the car is still moving, then it's time to change your handbrake cables.

Not necessary unless the caliper side can no longer tighten. The handbrake cable seldom stretch that much to the point where it cannot be tighten anymore. Usually the mechs tighten the handbrake, then caliper becomes loose, tighten handbrake somemore, caliper becomes loose again, to the point where handbrake side can no longer tighten anymore. Always check the both ends first.

been there, done that. the cable was not stretched. just jammed
