International Fugitive of the US





Well, the other day after much consideration, I decided that we probably should not be an international fugitive. Unfortunetly the United States of America, or in the very least the New York City Government, has given me little choice.

I made an attempt to pay the ticket, and after 4 attempts, all shot down, I have decided to take my chances.

Firstly being the tech savy kind of guy that I am, I tried to pay over the internet. Alas, my card was rejected, no specific reason. But hey, you can still pay in person at one of our many places across NY.

Secondly, with Ur's credit card, same thing, no joy.

Oh.. look there is a phone number, good, here I get the message, we only take credit cards with billing addresses in the US. Hrmm, give it a go anyway... after getting to the place to enter the number, it didn't want to listen to my dialling... Second time please enter your US post code... (apparently random 5 digits isn't suitable...

So in the end, all of us in the car are international fugitives... If anyone asks, it's not by choice... It's not my fault the place was a 24hr bus stop, but the least they could let me do is pay the god damn fine. I will be leaving the continent in less than 40 days anywho...

this is quite a common problem and i think it has to do with credit card law in the states

The problem is somthing a good ozzie friend of mines sister has exploited quite well.

For chicks shopping in america (where the prices are cheaper) the whole australian credit card thing is a real issue. so her site is an american mailing address for the goods and she then resends them on to where ever in the world. She has an uber credit card as well you enter your credit details she takes the money out buys the item then sends it to you :)
