well it gets better....

I cant find the photo card part of the driving licence anywhere.... so i went to the police station today with just the paper bit,

and they cant accept it, because I dont have the photo bit....

so I have to go to court instead !

lol youre so bad

That sucks, but on the plus side youve made me check my licence and mine expires March next year so not too long now. Its a bit cheeky that they include the time from when you got your provisional, I got my licence in Aug 2002, but it expires March 2011, not quite the 10 years.

Things might get difficult as my paper licence spent 2 weeks at the bottom of a lake before I retrieved it, so its condition isnt much good

My US license was valid for 2 years only.

Good job it can be sorted, pitty it has to take 3 weeks.

Lets hope they dont lose this form and send it recorded delivery!

I believe the first is and the next 4 years.

got a letter from the police a couple of days ago, saying they recognise that Id been into the police station to hand my licence in but couldnt find it, that it would be a waste of a courts time, so theyve given me a month to get a new one and then post it to them.



then another letter arrived today from "Central Payments Unit for Cumbria" saying I owe them a £625 fine.... but it looks fake to me..... it has what looks like a police logo/shield thing in the top left corner, but when you look close its of such a low resolution that you cant read what it says (the rest of the letter is perfectly printed)
(the shield thing with a lion on one side and a unicorn on the other? - not sure what its called)



wtf is going on ?   maybe Im the victim of identity theft or something ?


the letter.....

you may give them a ring to find out wtf its all about!

I was worried about ringing them, because Id heard if you ring up about dodgy parking tickets etc.. its some kind of acceptance of it ?

all seams a bit fishy to me....

Have you at any point accepted guilt in writing?

If not, you don't owe them a penny and they'll have to take you to court to get it. The CPS is never going to prosecute you for this – it's not in the public interest.

thing is, wtf is this fine for ?  

its nothing to do with me getting pulled the other week ?   Ive already sorted all that out - applied for my new licence, as soon as that comes in I post it off to the coppers with a £60 fine and its all over and done with...

Well the phone numbers and address is legit, but some people have phoned up and found out there was nothing others have actually had a fine

nice find, Ill just ignore it then.....


theres people on that page receiving finds and phoning up, being told its about parking tickets.... but they dont even drive or own a car...

There were a couple of legit ones though so might be worth checking?

i read on another site that if you phone them theyll hound you for money..... if its legit theyll send another letter / something more official
