On the news page of msn.co.nz I found a rather interesting story about a retired couple who is being made to pay $324 of unpaid fines from 22 years ago. Trish Latham had $40 of unpaid fines from the Christchurch city council that have been slowly and steadily gaining interest to get to $324 that it is now. I find this really amusing that the councils system somewhere in those 22 years had not sent out a letter beforehand to Mrs Latham. I think that fines unpaid for over ten years shouldn't get to that point and that thwe council should focus on more recent fines.
