If you failed to pay the fine plus costs you get a CCJ which would affect your credit rating. Technically they can't chase you for the money in Scotland based on a CCJ but they could apply to the Register to get a warrant issued that could send the Sheriff's officers after you. This would incur more fees on top. It's probably easier to pay the fine, since it's a council one. Not quite what I was hoping to hear, but it does sound like you know what you are talking about!

Brother Blades Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Is it very sad that after watching a few young guys having a wee “dance off” breakdance style, I went and spent £300 on two pairs of Adidas & a trackie top?

Police and Local Authority fines are different to the diddy parking ones from supermarkets etc. If you did it and dont have an excuse then suck it up and pay it because the ccj etc can impact your credit rating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much sums it up. The only thing that might get you off with it would be that the Local Authority are too cash-strapped or too hopeless to pursue it through the criminal courts. Personally, I wouldn't risk it without some reason to believe that Huddersfield Council don't tend to pursue this sort of thing. It's only £60, and may cost you significantly more if they do chase you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would always pay these as it's under criminal law. I've had a few so called civil law tickets while in hotel car parks and private places. They threaten you with all sorts and provide photographic evidence but they have no legal power to make you identify the driver, only the police can do that in Scotland anyway if they have reasonable cause to think a crime has been committed. I have a drawer full of their letters threatening to take me to court and upping their fines. They do it to scare people but if you ignore them and DO NOT contact them back they give up in my experience. They don't spend thousands taking folk to court to recover a minimal fine. Martin Lewis's website forum was good for me a few years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alta-pete Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 My old Dell laptop died a couple of years ago and I never bothered replacing it. Back to additional studying after a good few years since I was a student, so need to get a new one. Will only really be using it for office and maybe downloading music. Not looking at spending too much, £3-400 What should I buy? ETA - off topic but Ronaldo’s goal was good but Mexes and Ibrahimovic’s overhead kicks were better, as was Rooney’s and Sinclair’s as previously mentioned. I’d suggest starting here:https://www.europc.co.ukNot entirely sure how it works but I think it’s basically bin ends of high spec stuff at big discounts to RRP. Based in Hillington. Have used them a few times, never any bother. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
