Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Bus Lane fine Edinburgh (Multiple fines incoming)
« on: September 08, 2024, 12:36:30 pm »
Hello,
I have recently received a fine from the Edinburgh council for a bus lane charge at the shore going towards the city. The problem i face is that i have driven this route about 8 times which means i will accumulate £800 worth of charges (reduced to £400 if paid in 14 days) I am at the end of my mental capacity already and this is another kick in the teeth from the council. I understand my mistake and would pay the £50 fine as it is a law and i understand. However there is no way i can get £400 spare. I have just graduated and just moved into a flat so already scrounging enough money. I am just looking for advice on what i can do to deal with this? i feel lost and to be honest i just feel completely financially f'ed by this.
this is a photo of the charge below. I have covered my vehicle reg and the photos just for my own data protection.
Sorry for some reason my image wont load i have uploaded to imgur instead which is a website that will not give you a virus
