So I just went ahead and paid the 300.00. Do you know they sent me a check for 150.00 saying I paid too much.
I didn't know these things were negotiable.
In this case, I don't think it was negotiating. The original charge was an error and the government actually corrected it (shocking).
Technically, the charge is negotiable if the person chooses to go to court and state their case. The judge does have the power to change the amount on the ticket, but the odds are not in the favor of the person with the ticket.
