When the person who has been fined an increased fixed-rate fine does not dispute the reality of the ticket but, because of financial difficulties, requests payment deadlines or an ex gratia remission, they send their reasoned request not to the officer of the public prosecutor’s office, but to the competent public accountant.
In this case, Article 529-10 is not applicable.
If he considers the request justified, the competent public accountant may then grant time limits or issue a decision for partial or total remission, where applicable applying a 20% reduction to the sums due, in accordance with l’article 707-4.
