some one else paid my speeding fine.

cattom

I work in the motor  trade and have done over 30yrs. last month my boss came to me, telling me I got a speeding ticket in a customers car. the customer phoned us asking what he should do. so my boss explained the situation, gave him my name and address and that was that. this was over a month ago, and I've heard nothing. so I'm wondering if the customer has paid my fine. surely he wouldn't do that?. if he has, is he breaking the law?.

Since this is a forum dedicated to private parking companies, you might be better going to Pepipoo.com and asking your question there.

I thought I had put it in the general motoring section. maybe one of the board monitors could move it there for me. thanks.

Only if you send a message to one of them (Savvy or Soolin).  Still better on Pepipoo.com as they are the experts in the field

Whether the owner has claimed that they were driving (which would be very foolish) or not is not your problem. If they took their time in responding to the NIP with your name and address, they may still not have sent you your own S.172 request. I'd wait a while if I were you.

Are you 100% sure that your boss gave them your correct address?

As mentioned, a forum such as peipioo.com would be more appropriate.

Is it?  The title clearly says Parking tickets, fines and parking.  The OP came to ask about a fine.

We've been asking MSE for years to change it. But ultimately this is not the forum to expertly deal with statutory penalties and fines. The OP was correctly guided towards PePiPoo where the specialist expertise resides. He/she can do as they wish, but there will be far less in-depth, concentrated advice here. 

Are you able to help the OP?

Yes it is and we always (generally) point posters at Pepipoo for council parking and speeding.

THe customer had 28 days to respond to the S172 notice, and you dont know how lkong the police can take to reissue, as  now there is no time limit (bare the 6 months to prosecute the underlying offence)
