We are aware of a high number of scam texts and emails about fines being sent (from 18 August 2026). We do not send direct payment links via text message or email. If you receive a message about a fine and are unsure whether it is genuine, please contact our call centre on 0800 4 FINES (0800 434 637) before making any payment. Read more about identifying scams.
A response charge does not have a fee and is free.
Appeal a decision by a committee
You need to file your appeal within 20 working days after the date of the committee’s decision.
Under exceptional circumstances the Tribunal may accept an appeal (including cross appeal) no later than 60 working days from the date notice was given. When you send in your application you must provide a letter which states what the exceptional circumstances are, on the basis of which your late appeal should be accepted by the Tribunal.
