Bus lane fine

ZaMCFC

Hi,

I received a bus lane contravention fine from Manchester City Council. My appeal failed.

However, when i received the letter telling me this, the letter states that i must pay £60, despite the initial letter saying that there was a £30 option if paid during 21 days. However I submit my appeal on June 18 and received a letter today (8/07/23) despite it being dated for the 6th July. 

So although we are past the 21 day stage, their website states that if your appeal fails you can stil pay £30 within 14 days of receiving their response. So why are they asking for £60. This goes against what their website says. Therefore, do i have reason to submit another appeal as they are asking for too much, can you even appeal more than once (in which case could the fine be dismissed) as it says on their website that asking for an execissve amount is a reason to appeal.

Thanks

Read the sticky 'Read this before you post' as well as reading through some of the other threads there ahead of posting your own details, to get the hang of what information they need from you in your opening post - but as a minimum you will need to post redacted photos/scans of all correspondence you've received from the council (both sides, if appropriate), as they need to see all the small print.
