I got a £105 NHS fine due to a fraudulent claim made 5 days after my prepayment card ran out. I was (almost) certain I had not claimed as I knew it was due to run out. I chose not to renew as I had 5 months backlog of meds (all correctly dated I just checked).
I phoned them they said they had proof which they could send me but if I did not pay they would up my fine by £50. I paid due to their threats but asked for a copy of their evidence which finally arrived today. I just got a copy of my prescription.. I dunno who signed it but it was not me! Nothing like my sig. I actually do not care if they have some scam going on in un collected meds at the pharmacy but I ain't paying the fine
Will go to pharmacy torrow and if no joy gonna phone the fraud NHS line and ask for my money back and tell them I will go to court if they want. I am so angry
Any ideas what to do as despite me telling them I was almost sure I had not collected them, and the fact they could have checked the sigs they were quite forceful on not letting it go. I am however aware that even tho the Sig aint mine it is still my word against theirs I did not have a mate collect it
Thanks
