Called down to my old house today to pick up some post. There was a series of communications from e-Flow and finally one from Pierse & Fitzgibbon solicitors in Listowel regarding an unpaid M50 toll from August. Given escalations, the fine is now nearly €150.
They were sending letters to my old address as that's where the car was last registered (they use the tax database to take the address). I moved house on the 3rd of July and never got around to changing the registered address of the car as, frankly, down here it's an absolute pain in the hole which involves filling out various forms and sending them off to Shannon. You can only update online when paying your motor tax (not due until February). I have previously paid a fine of €3 for a separate incident when the notification letter arrived at the house I was living at, if that will stand to me at all.
Have I any chance of getting away with it or will I just have to bite the bullet and pony up?
