Speeding Fine on Dutch trip - Page 13

marinabrian · 4th December 2019, 23:48

Well the saga for me comes to an end, I went into the bank and paid the fine 59 euros...........nope the bank has cocked it up

So after a week or so of tooing and froing to the bank, various phone calls etc etc etc, they admit they've made a mistake.

So I say who is going to pay the 50% increased fine now the deadline for payment has passed?

As a good will gesture they've waived the £8 service charge, and credited my account with £40, making the total I had to pay £42 after they actually paid the Dutch authorities

Never mind, it could have been much worse

You are not on your own. Three times I had to go to the bank. First to Lloyds Bank. Where they said they could not accept Euros?? To pay a Euro fine?? Went to my other bank, and they had me hanging about for twenty minutes because they had not got a clue what to do, this was after I had put everything down on a piece of paper who to, the name of the bank,ING. They told me there was not a bank called ING?? What. Went the next day ready for an interesting time, and got it. 40 minutes of faffing about even with the manager in attendance. I have the receipt’s from the bank but no acknowledgment from the Dutch Authorities. Both fine dates to be paid have now passed, so I hope I don’t get an ‘enhanced’ fine for non payment after you have got one. We will see.You say you payed by Euro’s?? My bank charged me £9.50. Must have seen me coming. I blame that Reverend Geezer.

I seem to remember just filling in the forms, with my bank account details, and e-mailing them back to the French authorities. A week or so later, I received a receipt confirming payment - job done.

robbrooks · 5th December 2019, 22:25

I paid my fine, direct to the French authorities, online back in October . I just wanted it out of the way, with no further late payment penalties!

bl52krz · 5th December 2019, 23:15

We could not pay online. It had to be through a bank by bank transfer.This was in Holland not France.Seems as though we missed out. Should have got nicked in the republic.

Got one of those and ignored it - never heard back again. They send them out, and if they get money in, good... otherwise, how can they chase? Not possible. So yes, just ignore. The French are the worst - I've driven in Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland (which has a fearsome rep. but never had problems there), Holland, Greece, Italy... only France do this from what I can tell.
