How to pay a German train fine
Comments

Ive got to agree. If they rejected the cash I personally wouldnt bother trying to pay it again. I mean realistically how do they expect you to pay this, it sounds ridiculous to me.0

As a footnote for anybody who is interested I did what Benjus suggested and got some relations with a Euro account to transfer the money for me (I then paid the equivalent into their sterling account) - the link that Benjus posted is very good because it contains IBAN numbers etc for DB so thanks for that Benjus. I also got a hardcopy document of the transfer detailing dates, numbers etc. and posted this to DB and I am hoping this will be the end of the matter (but you never know with Germans).
It's all very well for people to say they won't bother but I would have thought it is quite feasible for a company like DB to hold a database of unpaid fines and if you then try to buy a train ticket, at a later date, an alert would come up etc.0
