Unpaid Fines
1 Answers
How long is a Local Authority allowed to chase an unpaid fine for? Are they allowed to chase it after more than 10 years? Can they harrass partners/husbands wives for it even if it is nothing to do with them? Any help most appreciated.

There is no limit for fines imposed by a court, they must be paid or otherwise commuted, ie Gaol. The local authority may however choose not to chase but generally they would then hand over to a bailiff who would pursue with vigor. Check out the BBC show "Bailiffs" and see how a �50 fine can escalate to �1000+ and result in them seizing goods to the value.
