Zugara Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Avoid points on your licence! I have never tried this.                  Only accountants could come up with this one; Pay your fine, but, NO POINTS DEDUCTED, !! Read on :- This is how the points get added to your licence: If you get a fixed penalty notice through the post which also carries penalty points the computer system first sends you a demand for the cash. When you have paid, it then sends a demand to return your licence for endorsement. It cannot handle the licence endorsement and the payment at the same time, and it cannot process the points part of the system until the financial section is complete. If you overpay the fixed penalty, it must issue and send a refund cheque for the overpayment. Therefore, overpay the fixed penalty by sending a cheque for the full amount plus £1. The computer will then automatically generate a refund cheque for the over-payment and send it to you. **** Do not cash this refund cheque - DUMP IT. The system then remains 'open' and cannot generate the 'send your licence for endorsement' demand part of the program. It does, however, record your payment of the fixed penalty, so it does not trigger the 'follow-up unpaid fine' stage. As there is no human intervention, the system will leave you alone, since it has got your money, which is the primary objective!  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke0549 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 This used to work years back, but they got wise to it, now it's processed properly and they just reimburse you the overpayment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I was going to say this is years old - and they're not that stupid, like we think they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narcotix Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I heard about this a few years ago as well ... I'm sure if this was the case they would have sorted it out as soon as it came to light .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
