When I was younger I accummulated a load of fines (stupid I know) but I have been paying them over the last 2 years at £30 per month which the courts were happy with.
I moved home in December last year (2013) and had 3 months mail forwarding on. In January I received a letter saying I had to attend court for an assessment of where the fines where up to...as I was due to be away when the court date was I rang them and asked could U re-schedule, the guy on the phone said not to worry as because I made regular payments they would more than likely be happy for current arrangement to continue. He also said just wait to hear from them, I told him I had moved, gave him my new address and he said fine.
I have heard nothing since until today when I received an email from accounts at my workplace to say they had received an attachment of earnings order for £704 to be deducted in June and July and £500 in August.
I rang the court and explained everything, the guy was helpful but said they couldnt retract an attachment of earnings...what can I do?
I really cant afford to pay any more than the £30 per month I was paying and certainly not the amount they have ordered.

I would try giving national debtline a call for some advice on this.
As far as I am aware the best you could do would be to ask for the AoE to be varied using an N244 form.A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who giveor "It costs nowt to be nice"0
