"Sheriff Officer" sounds like you're in Scotland. Most cases like this tend to be due to failure of the car owner to update his V5C Registration Certificate for the car.
Title: Sheriff Officers Letter Scott & Co for Bus Gate Fine
Post by: theboonies on May 09, 2025, 08:52:49 am
Morning - as this is urgent now since the sheriff letter was dropped through my door 7 days ago could anyone advise quickly what I should do to gain more time?

I will post all the details required later on today but I’m now being faced with a £267 fine when the last I heard was my appeal had been rejected (I didn’t come on here first sadly!) and I thought I’d appealed again then no contact at all (have checked me emails) then a sheriff officer letter?

I feel very strongly about this fine as the signage displayed was confusing, and though it’s a bus gate no actual bus route goes through it.

It’s more what can I do immediately to gain more time? Or better to pay if it’s at this stage??  :(
