the practice of imposing additional surcharge on drivers for paying with a credit card was challenged by a motorist in London.
His case, which challenged the 1.3 per cent surcharge in Camden, was upheld by the adjudicator.
The ruling applies to all fines imposed by local authorities including those outside the capital which have been given the right to police parking and keep the fines.
It also applies to fines imposed by councils for ‘moving motoring offences’, such as entering a box junction.
The adjudicator said councils could not demand money in addition to the fine for the offence itself.
As a result of the ruling councils which have imposed the illegal surcharges face an avalanche of claims from motorists.
I would like to claim mine back but i dont know where to start ? Any one any ideas ? I live in one of the affected areas (Calderdale) and they charged me the surcharge when i paid some fines with my credit card.
