If its a scam it could well cost you more than €50. Once they have your credit card details who knows how much they would take from you.

Be very careful.

How did they get your address to send the forms to from Germany my SIL works for the dept that processes these and they are under strict instructions that if they cannot read the licence plate, regonise the driver.or is a RHD vehicle then they have to bin it.It is different if the offence occurs in a German registered rent a car then the rental company will chase you but a UK registered car than you can forget it.

If you received a ticket and it was a UK registered vehicle then I would think you have been scammed from somebody inside Flemsburg making a few bob on the side.

Don,t be pedantic it was togue in cheek about Flemsburg.

I will explain in simple language if someone in Flemsburg or any other city, town village has a contact in the local office then they can work together if someone is in Flemsburg they have contacts all over Germany is that simple enough.

I am fairly sure it is not a scam. The ticket incorporated a photo of the car clealry taken by a speed camera and the web site is a part of the Catalan regional government site.

My difficulty is that the payment link does not work (another reason to suggest it is genuine - it is the one thing a scammer would get right!). Has anyone successfully paid a Catalan fine?
