Exclusive: A Sydney motorist was slapped with a $130 fine and told his licence would be suspended for failing to pay a parking fine – even though he had paid it in full.

Andy was fined $140 for overstaying a parking meter in Chatswood, on Sydney's Lower North Shore, in August last year.

He applied for a payment plan through Revenue NSW and was approved.

Andy said he made four payments online and finished paying off the fine four days before the final payment was due.

He got the shock of his life when he received a letter in February saying the fine was still outstanding.
