penalty charge notices, question for JR
Discussion
I got one of those, strangely enough in croydon! i live 300 miles away and drove through one day when i was working near there. Im 99% sure i wasnt using a bus lane but they claimed i was seen on CCTV. I coundt be arsed with the hassle so I paid the fee to avoid court.
I have always wondered whether i was in the wrong or they have a good scam going...?
There was an issue re charges recently in my area when they de-criminalised parking and handed it over to the council to enforce. They set the fine at £40 and it doubled if you didn't pay it in 28 days. This was contested and they had to change it so they set the fine at £80 and gave a reduction to £40 if you paid it within 28 days, don't ask me what the difference is. Yours sounds similar in that I asume it is a council as opposed to a police ticket. If this is the case then they seem to be bigger Ba$%^&ds than our lot, certainly the ones in our area are, the problem is that they still come whinging at us lot when they get a ticket. Hope that answers your question
