Library payment problems

Recommended Posts

It seems that when I pay a fine using Southwark's self service it doesn't always get allocated to my account. Anybody else find this problem? I've been suspecting it for a while but thought maybe I had forgotten etc but I'm quite sure now. Problem is I haven't kept receipts (according to system some fines going back to 2016 even). Anybody else have this? Some years ago for some reason my account was duplicated on their system and ever since there's not been a time when I haven't had a problem despite assurances that everything is, now, fixed.

Is self service the same as online/ using your card? Or cash? If the former, you will have the proof from your bank (even if it's dating back years). Ask Southwark to check where those payments were allocated on their system. If it's cash then they should still be able to audit it

Yes indeed rh- have very occasionally been guilty myself - just read like it happened regularly with the op that's all. Also it does deprive other readers from borrowing too.

Thanks for the replies, yes mea culpa, however - did you know that you can reserve books even if they are currently out on loan? and that if you reserve the item then the book can't be renewed?

I was writing that for the benefit of those who have helpfully pointed out that I'm depriving the community of the enjoyment of library books because I have, on ocassion, returned the books late.

    • Hello! We need a few product shots for our new personalised baby bear hooded jumpsuit (pictured).  We'd just need around an hour or so of your (and your baby's!) time.  In return, we'll hand-felt your little one's name onto a jumpsuit to gift you at the end of the shoot as well as provide a £30 thank you payment. If you're interested please either reply to this thread or drop me a text on 07877 734099 to arrange a mutually convenient time. Photo shoot to take place in East Dulwich at our residential address. Thanks, Sam    
    • Many thanks for your detailed reply. Our floor was originally concrete too - had the floorboards down for years now and need a change. thanks again
    • Although I think you're right to address your concerns about what you perceive as an attack on your business.  I do feel I need to respond to some of your comments;  I haven’t noticed any criticism in the posts of the clinical care delivered,  all the criticism has been in relation to your charges and billing,  which when compared to other practices does seem high. We know vets are business and don't expect treatment for free! But when prices are significantly higher people are going to question it.  This occurs not only on social media,  but in parks up and down the country as dog owners do discuss this.    I agree your analogy that people can choose where to purchase their veterinary care, a bit like where they choose to purchase their groceries ( convenience store versus sainsburys versus Aldi etc). The big difference is with the supermarket chains there is choice.  Sadly what is happening with veterinary practices is a few massive chains have brought up all the previously independent practices,  therefore there isn't any real choice and these chains are monopolising the industry and forcing up prices to shocking levels ( veterinary prices have risen more than any other industry). I welcome the formal investigation of the CMA into veterinary costs. 
    • Neither of which are Dulwich private schools though. I also wasn't being entirely serious.
