Got the result back in still liable and the fine is now 80 quid. Im still not paying it.

Anywhere to go from here?

Asuming you still have the slip saying you aren't the registered keeper per your post 24th August then I guess where you go from here is court. Unless I've misunderstood that earlier post.

In the last 20 years and having changed cars often (sometimes 3 time in a year) I've never had a problem.
