As time went by I completely forgot to make payment for the fine original the fine was of £35 pounds though the item was not damaged at all. Today I recieved a call from county collection office who then told me j know owed them 137 something around that figure I need to know what do I do because I didn't shoplift I was clearly pressured into saying I did shop lift even after many failed attempts to explain this to the security guard I'm worried as I read on their website that can find me through the council can someone please advice me on what to do I would of paid the £35 though this was a genuine mistake but 2 months After I had my baby boy and as you can imagine i was so busy enjoying motherhood that I completely forgot about this fine but I guess not telling the. My real address didn't help as they've know charged me so much more can someone please tell me if they can take me court over this and what is the best thing to do
