New Credit Check of Fines initiative

From 13 February 2012, if you have overdue fines or reparation this information may be included as part of a credit check about you. This may result in you being declined credit and stop you from getting the things you want. To avoid this happening, pay your fines now.

For more information, read the Common Questions page.

 

What happens if I don't pay?

If you do not pay or make a payment arrangement by the due date, the Court can take enforcement action against you to collect the outstanding amount.  The Court can:

  • Make compulsory deductions from your wages, benefit or bank account.
  • Seize and sell your property
  • Stop you from travelling overseas
  • Arrest you

If any of the above enforcement actions are started, the Court adds an enforcement fee to each fine being enforced. From 1 October 2010 this fee is $102.22.

If you are having trouble making your payments you should call us on 0800 4 FINES to discuss your situation. Don’t wait for the Court to come to you.
