I received a fine in the mail which was my fault and I logged in to view the information and pay it.

This has been the first time I have ever received.

While logged in I noticed another fine sitting there from 2014 due to not having a train ticket.

I was never aware of this fine so I called up and they advised me to contest it as person unaware or pay it. So I did that stating it could have been sent to the wrong address or never sent, since I wasn’t aware this existed.

To my surprise around 10 months later I receive a letter saying that my appeal is rejected and I have 3 weeks to pay the fine, as it is my responsibility to advise them where I live or if I changed were I lived so they can send the fine to the correct place. It is not their responsibility to check where I live. Also I need to pay the fine and all the additional fees accumulated over those years. Obviously they don’t let you contest again or reply to them.

What should I do next?

Just thinking of how people feel about focus groups .

I do on average one a month pays between 100-200 normally sometimes more.

You get to meet a lot of people (most of them are odd especially at late focus groups) I really hate when the people I’m with are very opinionated and drag the session.

I just play pretend and give short answers to get out.

Have you met any odd people in your focus groups?

Also feel free to ask me anything

Don’t really need the extra cash just saw a Facebook ad for census field officer to follow up . Applied and got the job. It’s my first time doing it. Ask me anything
