Fines imposed by a court for criminal offences are one of the most important debts to pay. This is because courts have wide-ranging powers to collect fines, and in some cases you could go to prison for non-payment.
If you’re struggling to pay the instalments fixed by the court, or if you’ve missed any payment, contact the court which set the fine straight away. If you don’t the court can take further action promptly and this can make your fine much harder to deal with.
