They will disregard any communication that proves you've settled the charge they are asserting, while trying to pressure you into paying. I received a notice claiming I hadn’t paid for a vignette. The letter was unclear regarding my vehicle registration and lacked a date, prompting me to reach out for clarification on whether it was my vehicle and the payment deadline. I provided the company with proof of payment (credit card statement and a timeline showing my stop at the first petrol station in Hungary where I paid) but received no response, so I followed up. They claimed they hadn’t received anything from me. This occurred three times, which feels very suspicious. Ultimately, I ended up paying the charge to avoid escalation. The time and effort required to contest this in court would exceed the charge, meaning even if I won, I’d still be at a loss. They deliberately let the time lapse to coerce you into paying. This feels like extortion! Additionally, the administrative fees came close to matching the fine. With access to translation tools widely available, it's unreasonable to charge £64.08 for translating a document from Hungarian to English. It’s pure profit.
