monique.hubrechtsgm Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 On behalf of some club members. We booked again the festival yearly at rockingham- castle in the midlands. Some members changed licence plates afther register and have to pay twice. No entrance on the meneu to change.The chunnel was not a problem. It is small money but not convenient. How do you do?

PJM Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 If you have registered an account with the crossing you can log in and then delete the vehicles no longer required and add the new registrations. I have done it several times when changing cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archiesgrandad Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I still think that there is something fundamentally wrong when a private company is allowed to levy penalties on members of the public without first being required to convince a court of law that there is a case to answer. Our son, a student, recently got whacked for £500+ for not paying in time, and because the notices were sent to his old digs.. It was not until the bailiffs arrived at his old digs that he found out, even though he had notified DVLC a few days after he moved, but it was not picked up by the money grabbers.

This penalty presumably escalated because he failed to pay that promptly too, and/or failed to notify his change of address promptly, so he ended up getting chased by debt collectors. Perhaps he'll take it all a bit more seriously in future and pay on time, like the rest of us have to.I happen to think the Dart Crossing charges are wrong in principle, because the public was promised they would be discontinued once the Bridge had been paid for but instead the authorities saw an opportunity to roll them on. The excuse is that charges help to reduce traffic congestion for the locals, which never really stood up. But that aside the current system of charges seems to be a good one and the charges per crossing are not excessive - and it provides various ways of paying in advance or automatically, as you choose. All you have to do is take it seriously and make appropriate arrangements. I have no sympathy for people who are chased for faling to pay and then face a large penalty because they have failed to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W3526602 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Hi, Rumour has it that the 1699 Bill of Rights states that nobody shall suffer a fine or other forfeit without first appearing before a magistrate. Same rumour says that Parliamentt's power derives from this Bill, therefore Parliament cannot change anything writ in it, without losing the other authorities that it gives them. Are there any lawyers here who can comment? If not paying a toll is a CRIME, then the police should be involvable, and you should be able to state your case to a magistrate. If it is a CIVIL matter, then it ain't a fine, and they would have to take you before a Civil Court, which could prove expensive to either or both parties ... with no guarantee of a sensible decision. Their lawyers are probably bigger than anybody that you can afford. If you want unfairness ... we are selling our house. Our solicitor requested all documents relating to the house. Then they asked for the FENSA (windows) Certificates of Compliance. "We already sent them!" "No you didn't!" An argument that we cannot win, so we ordered copies from FENSA (the details can be checked on line). Having paid £15 each, for four seperate installations, we then had to pay £20 each for the copies. I think a copy of the Certificate of Compliance for the new gas boiler is £40. Recent legislation requires lenders to demand proof of identity ... driving licence or passport. Originals, or certified copy. The Post Office charge in excess of £10 to certify each document (Google is uncertain how much the PO charges). Licences to print money, with nobody to complain to. Pay up, or do without. 602 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
