It not going to affect your credit score Magistrate court fines are not recorded with credit reference agency


statutory declaration is the correct way to go I bet they have the wrong address (forgot the A) hopefully this should be enough for the Stat Dec Before bailiffs attend for a magistrate court fine the court should send you a further steps notice

you need phone Collectica and I strongly suggest you record the call as they wont want to be to helpful because they will lose there big fat pay day (there fees are £300)

Ask them the EXACT address on the warrant ,the date you were fine, what court your fine at, court fine ref no amount of fine.

then get in touch with court fine department and ask for the exact address the information is being sent to as you have received none (don't let them fob you off you are legally entitled to file a stat Dec )

Really really great thanks.
The biggest problem was credit score and if is not affected then i'm pleased.
I'm thinking if I sould try to open case again, just to save few hundreds pounds ( or maybe annoyed court will give me bigger fine this time ).
Hope that many people find this topic and your answer helpful.

Because you know what. That long Uk is in EU, i'm at home. :cool:

<shrug> To be fair, Komar, you did invite exactly that kind of comment by drawing the comparisons between your old home and the UK... Don't want it mentioned? Don't mention it yourself. Nobody would have known. Or, to be honest, cared, since it's irrelevant.

Perhaps you were a bit naive in thinking that something as serious as a tacho offence (and, yes, you did say that it was because you were "working too much" - so over hours) would just quietly get forgotten. (They are, after all, EU regulations... <whistles innocently>) But that's beside the point.

You know which court it was - Bromley. I'd start by contacting them.

(One bit of advice - turn the attitude down a bit when you ring 'em. You want their help, remember. It's not the person on the other end of the phone's fault that there was an error made on the address)

Your friend's divorce is not a great analogy. His letters were delivered. Whether they were signed for or not makes no difference. If they were signed for, they would still have been delivered - and would still have been hidden by his wife. Equally, it's entirely possible that the letters relating to your court case WERE delivered - and would have been signed for if required - just not to you. Registered post does not have any kind of identity check on the recipient made on delivery.
