Re: help!! received notice of distress warrant 5 days after I had paid fine in full

thank you so much all of you guys/ladies? been very very helpful, you and lots of prayers has kept me insane, I don't feel as much stressed as when that "bomb" of a "bill" was dropped on my door step. So I shall be first of all e-mailing SEM gl-cao.corresp@hmcts.gsi.gov.uk and seeing if I can get as much info I can.

Yes I am sure my son has some kind of mental disorder, as if you met him you'd think a world of him, he mild in temper, polite with good manners, yet the impulsive side where he lacks judgment in his decision making, it's like porridge too much for his brain to handle so he just goes where the wind blows him.

P.S. Although my children drive me nuts sometimes, they are not up for auction heh he

What you are describing sounds like ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) or Asperger's Syndrome, which is on the autism spectrum. You need to get your GP to refer your son for assessment and your local authority need to statement him. This simply means that he is acknowledged as having "special needs". Some local authorities try to resist this, but it has a habit of coming back and smacking them in the face further down the line.

One of the questions you need to ask the SEM is the date the court informed Collectica you had paid the fine in full. Once the fine is paid in full, all enforcement action should cease. If it is the case that Collectica has ignored HMCTS instructions, the SEM should be in a position to stop all further action.

This of course takes us into the dangerous ground of the admin and attendance fees, one or both of which could have been legitimately charged in this case, but people have differing views over whether this should form part of the total amount paid. It's therefore possible to pay the fine in full, but have bailiff fees outstanding for which they will pursue you.
