Statutory declaraition for a bus lanes ! HELP !!!

[ernestas0001]

Hello !

I`m a 23 years old full-time student in London. I own a motorbike for nearly a year now. Had no problems, but recently my previous landlord contacted that I have still incoming mail. That was two statutory declarations (issued on 9th of October) from Islington council for driving on a bus lanes. Penalties were issued on 04/23 and 04/26 in exact same spot on my daily run to my work. They require me to pay in total £404. Even if I had a money to pay I am too late, because I had 21 days to do that.

 

They are threatening me in a letter that i might be fined or jailed up to 2 years, or both...

I know that I made mistake by not updating my address in DVLA, but I have changed my location four times this year .

 

Help ! I feel desperate now, if i knew about it straight away I would've paid £65 each or tried to appeal.

 

Thank you !
