My girlfriend received a summons in the post a few months ago for a case date on 2*(a typo it was ) 29th Jan.The accusation was apparently parking in a bus lane.
She had received a fine in the mail prior to this and we misplaced it and never done anything about it.
Is it possible to call the summons office or request that you would like to make the payment or is it now mandatory to attend a court sitting due receiving the summons?
Payment can only be made within 56 days of the date on the actual notice. Once past that payment cannot be made at all and once the summons issues the judge will decide the rest.
