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
If you're using the library's self service system, I guess that means you swipe in with your library card to start? Perhaps it would be worth exlaining what you're noticing to a manager at the library and ask them to trace which account(s) it's linking to. Maybe there's a shadow account on the system with a lot of credit in 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.

    • I had the same thing happen about a year ago... a couple of times in fact. I obviously react a lot less to posts than I used to because it has'nt happened again!
    • The link below has further information suggesting that the shop demolition and square redevelopment is funded separately from the station upgrades, so will go ahead:   https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/peckham-rye-stations-step-free-upgrade-has-been-put-on-hold-82360/ 
    • Last time the toilets were out of operation in the station M&S we were all told to go out and up to Sainsbo! Certainly didn't close (I'm not suggesting that's the thing the library should do!)
