I woke up late this morning, after 8am.

Oh well, I was going to go in late today anyway, since I need to sort out this fine crap.

I got ready, and went to the bank, I deposited the refund cheque, and withdrew $580 to pay the fine.

I went across the post office. Lined up for ages as usual, finally got served. The woman scans the barcode on the reminder letter. "Sorry, I can't accept payment for this, it's overdue".

Terrific, thanks for nothing.

Let's see, I can't pay it online because it says I've already paid it. I can't pay it at the post office because it's now overdue, which is good, since I didn't get the reminder until after it was due.

They're totally useless. I contacted Queensland Transport in June last year, with an alternate postal address, they have no issue with mailing things to the correct address.

So let's see, they've probably gone to State Debt Recovery with this now, meaning I have to pay more, but i won't even get their fine until after it's due, and I end up back in this situation again.

I have been trying to pay this fine for three months now. I paid it within a few days of getting it, and then because they can't bother to check an address, the letters end up stuck in the mail until it's too late for me to pay. Useless.

I think I'll go across the road to the infringements bureau, and try to sort this out. I'll bet they're like the RTA, and I end up in there for an hour.
