Aye catalogue terms, if he doesn't pay it there's nothing the courts can do about it.

I'm hoping things have changed in the last 10 years.

Basically if you don't pay your court fines/costs/compensation, then you will go to jail. Else your car can be taken, a charge on your house can be placed on it, amounts can be automatically taken from benefits, or an attachment to earnings can be made.

Nowadays the courts have targets to get at least 95% of outstanding fines, and 100% of outstanding compensation.


And do they actually ever reach these targets? :roll:

If you were a victim you may care, when im quite sure the victim surcharge probably gets collected with much more vigour than what the victim is awarded...
