You have just received a police fine by mail—what is your next step?
It is essential to understand that when you receive a police fine directly by mail, it means that the police have detected an infraction and have issued the fine accordingly. At this point, Poppy's role is limited to providing information to the police upon their request, as we are legally obliged to do so.
What if I want to contest the fine?
If you find yourself in a situation where you want to contest the fine, it is crucial to act quickly. Your first step should be to address the issue directly with the issuing authority. They will have the necessary procedures in place to handle any disputes or appeals regarding the fine. The contact information you need can be found in the letter you have received.
Please note that Poppy's role in this process is primarily administrative, and any dispute or handling of the fine should be pursued directly with the relevant authorities.
