A man has been fined £540 after failing to pay Clean Air Zone (CAZ) charges. Clive Harvey, 39, drove through Birmingham multiple times without a bank card, meaning he was unable to make the CAZ payments.
At the time, Clive claims he was waiting for a new bank card after falling victim to an attempted scam in December last year. Having destroyed his card, Clive was unable to pay three days' worth of charges and despite explaining what had happened he was still slapped with several fixed penalty notices.
Clive, from Lichfield, Staffordshire has been in touch "dozens" of times with Birmingham City Council over the course of four months to no avail and even got his local MP Michael Fabricant to take up the cause, reports Birmingham Live.
