guys just a quick question if anyones had experience with this before .. i have collected a number of fines over the last few years (mainly citylink fines) ... the fines themselves add up to 600 or so, but there's over a GRAND in costs etc that they collect after they're late ... how do they justify that when all they've had to do is send me some notices???

I actually setup a payment plan for them a while back but fell off track with work etc so missed out on them again.

any tips for me? (except the obvious ... paying on time)? worth getting a lawyer to get off the fees etc? Cuz im happy paying the fines.

Cheers,

You wont get off them.

Citylink is fully signed about how to pay, website, don't travel without paying.

Also if your address was invalid - that's your problem also as they get the most recent address when sending out letters/notices.

If you then setup a payment plan you aknowledge you owed the money so there is no excuse

By all means pay a lawyer - its only going to cost you more money.

As i said, i agree i shouldve paid them on time, I can be like the thousands of people who never pay fines but im trying to do the right thing here ... just unfair how "COSTS" can be over a THOUSAND bux on fines less then 700 ... what other cost is there then to post out a fkn invoice?

Unfortunately for you the right thing is the solution. The fees are there to help ensure that people do actually pay in a timely manor, most financial institutions do this. So you are not getting out of the fees. If you had a payment plan and were not able honor it for any reason, then you should have got in contact with Civil compliance and made some other kind of arrangement. Just pay it off and be done with it.

I got laid off from work and my family member passed away so I had to get off it ffs, I didn't make this thread to find out what the right thing is ...

Did you apply in writing for adjustment to the payment plan?

My guess is no, and you simply ignored it.

If you sent in a letter explaining circumstances then you can have the plan altered, paused, extended etc etc

Send a letter now then, I hate to tell you but the situation won't magically improve itself so you need to take action...

EDIT: a lawyer may work but will probably cost you a lot more than a few fines, and if your talking legal aid they may simply assist you in writing a letter or refuse to help...

R31, nevermind mate ... why are you constantly trying to say I didn't do the right thing? I SAID THAT IN MY FIRST POST.

some_cs_student, I did apply in writing to get the costs removed explaining my situation but that got rejected.

thanks for your help guys, I'm going to call them tomorrow to setup another payment plan.

Cheers

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.

      They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!
