    its always newbies also, never give anything back on the threads

    Do you blame people for not coming back if they get slaughtered first time out. There's having a thick skin and there's being a masochist.

    .. because the OP has clearly been stopped and fined for something that is illegal. Cue a lot of 'forgetting' about reminder letters and warnings etc, to swan off on holiday, then have the audacity to request a payment plan (or get out of paying at all!!) since they are on a 'low income'.

    You're right, the forum does get worse everyday, because it is becoming a haven for those to request measures to avoid paying for anything they decide they don't want to.

    Yeh right. Over something pathetic by a overpaid security guard, sorry police 'officer'.

    Whether or not it's 'pathetic' (in your eyes), it's obviously something that is part of the law and attracts the fine if not adhered to.

    Sorry, but 'forgetting' to pay a fine after you've been stopped by the police just doesn't wash with me - more like ignoring the letters and hoping it would go away.

    op is not asking you to judge, they are asking for advice.

    RobertoMoir beat me to it, he already posted the link.
