ive come back from Nofolk tonight to be handed a charge certificate from Liverpool City Council for a bus lane penalty charge.......fair enough you say (and me in some ways).

but it was 3 MONTHS AGO i supposedly did it!!! this letter tells me that i was caught on CCTV on 11 June & this is the first i am hearing about it!!

"A bus lane penalty charge notice was served on you and you have failed to pay the charge within 28 days.........". therefore im told the fine i had to pay has been increased 50% to £90.

dont get me wrong i dont have a problem with paying A SUM OF MONEY, i know i have done wrong and been caught out for it - i should now pay the consequences. but i wasnt given a notification to tell me id been done for it in the first place!!!!

so why should i now have to pay even more as a result of not paying a fine i wasnt notified i had??!!!

is it just me that thinks thats out of order?


im phoning the council tomorrow anyway but just wondering your opinions on this ........
