The confusion comes in with the first letter as it was not clear that they required us to send the information along with the payment. The letter is in English, so I expected it to mean what it says. Which says send the reply form if you do not pay the fine.

This mistake on behalf of them should not cause me to pay additional 300 euros. I was just asking if anyone had to deal with similar situation and what sound advise they can give.

As it stands, I'm planning to write them an email (which they provided on the letter) and explain the mistake and see if they are reasonable.

There are other countries similar to Italy, with the same climate. Try vacationing in Croatia, and leave Italy to others.
