How Long Before A Fine Is Payable Online?

[Rolls]

If you are issued a speeding fine by an officer eg the blue paper, how long does it normally take to be entered into the system so that you can pay it online? As I received one just over a week ago but it says the fine is not available to be paid yet, meaning that it hasn't been entered in, how long have others had to wait?

I remember I got a fine once that was never entered in and I got off scott free, but I think a week is too soon to be thinking that yet.

It was around 10 days before the expiation notice number was accepted on their website last time I got issued a fine (albeit, not for speeding).

I tried giving them a call, because I'd been concerned - and they told me to keep waiting and that it could be two or more weeks.

Ok thanks for that, I'll give it a go in a week or so, never know I might get lucky.

Got out of a 4 point $610 fine last time as the officer never sent in his half of the paper work, doesn't get much luckier than that! Been 2 years and I haven't heard anything.

it will be available when ever the issuing officer bothers to key the fine in.

the fine can actually go past the due date, and you have no means to pay if the officer is lazy (post office wont accept it, ENB wont take payment over the phone and there will be no option to pay online even though you have the fine in your hand). I have come accross a number of people that have had no way to pay the fine till the reminder notice is issued (dont stress if this happens... its one of the only instances where a reminder fee will be removed).

if there is any kind of clerical error on the expiation, it will be withdrawn by ENB then it will be up to the issuing officer to reissue you a fine.

ok thanks for that, I'll just keep checking it every few days until the due date, then I'll just wait for something in the mail.

thanks guys

last time I had to wait roughly 2 and a half weeks before it was up on the website.
