Well I haven’t blogged about the 2 toll fines the previous owners of George received – they sort of seemed irrelevant somehow, despite the paper war I had to go through to prove that I purchased the vehicle AFTER they incurred the fines by driving and not paying on a toll road in Sydney – the toll itself was $4.00 each but by the time the notice had got to me it had incurred a penalty so they were $13.00 each. So made a quick call to City Link completed the required paperwork and had it witnessed by a friendly police officer and posted it off. Yesterday I got more mail (thanks Rosita for being such an awesome personal secretary) which looked suspiciously like the previous mail from City Link!! Well it wasn’t, quite, it was from Civic Compliance who now handle the overdue infringement notices and this time there were 2 fines of $119 each, dating back to January 2011 – I kid you not. So once again I get on the phone – hey guys how many times do I have to tell you that I purchased the vehicle in MARCH and once again I have to write a letter explaining why I wish to be excused from paying these fines – ho hum. This time I got a bit clever and asked if they could check the system for any other unpaid fines – thankfully there are no more. Definitely a case of buyer beware!!!!!!
