Motorist hit with £540 fine after driving through Clean Air Zone without bank card

A motorist claims he has been hit with £540 worth of fines after he fell victim to a scam.

Clive Harvey received the fines after he drove through Birmingham multiple times, entering Clean Air Zones, without a bank card. The businessman was unable to pay three days' worth of charges due to having to destroy his bank card after being the victim of an attempted scam in December last year.

Clive, from Lichfield, said he had been contacting Birmingham City Council bosses for four months to no avail. Despite trying to explain what had happened he was still hit with several fixed penalty notices, reported Birmingham Live.
