Essex police, you silly idiots.

My tale of hate and misery.

So, I've just got home, worked a 13 hour day, had numerous cock ups and a BDM on my arse due to no fault of my own.
I bought a 125c just for giggles a while ago and have been driving on a CBT, I was pulled over and booked for having no rear "L" plate. Fair enough I should have replaced the one that came off. This happened last month... I accepted the points and paid the 60 pounds fine. Two days ago I received a refund from Essex county courts for the fine. Surprised but quite happy I simple assumed it was due to not getting my license back in a timely manor.
So, back to today, I received a letter that I've just read demanding that I once again pay for the fine or my license will be suspended. Incompetence, I think yes. Got to be honest Just venting but anyone else think this is just slightly retarded?

Yep, time to make some phone calls complete with an array of swear words.

That's absolutely retarded.

Major idiocy. Call them, tell them they're dunces and that they only get one chance at taking your cash.

Oh and mind telling them the realitymod community thinks they're retards?

bah, i hate stuff like that. sometimes it feels like someone at their office just wants to takes a piss at you by making you pay more money for his/her own amusement. i bet a lot of people are too introverted or shy and just pay it again to not be troubled about it.

To be honest, the main problem with it is the fact they are holding my primary form of ID. I don't like too keep my pass port on me due to its size and the fact I already have trouble losing them.

Just a major inconvenience... going to phone them tomorrow and give them an earful I guess. :/

Just be polite, the chances are whoever you speak to won't be the person who fucked up, and like anyone, the nicer and politer you are with them, the more likely they are to help you!

Yeah, lets swear at the Police, the smart thing to do!

Seriously though, bit of a facepalm from them, but do be polite, and I'm sure it'll get sorted.

That's a bureaucracy for you. Sadly enough, it's hard to do it better
