Paying V Avoiding Luas Fine

isplan

Hi all,

I've been using the dart service legitimately over the past 2 months via a leap card. Yesterday I got on the luas for the first time. I thought I had tagged on but was told then by inspector I had not. Basically I thought I could go upto 5€ deficit and the card would still tag but I was wrong.

The inspector issued me a 45€ fine. He took my name from my age card and then asked for my address-I gave him a fake address.

Would I be able to get away with not paying this fine as the company have no legitimate address for me and any address which is linked to my name is in a different county ( Plus, do they even have the database capabilities to find any address nationally linked to my name?) .

Does anybody know if I can avoid paying this fine and it would go into the companies bad debts or am I screwed because they have my name? Anybody heard of any similar situations? Or have experience in this

Apologies to anyone who is offended by my desire to avoid a fine.

I don't even think we are allowed help you avoid paying the fine on here.

They have both your Leap Card number and your Age Card details. It would be unwise to think you got away with it.

You can pay on-line and nothing more will be said.

I would advise to pay the fine. And in future check that you are tagged on.

Pay the find and don't try posting like this again.

It will, but you need to have a positive balance to start a journey.
