Ways of paying your legal aid debt

You can make repayments in different ways, including:

  • Automatic payments made weekly, fortnightly, or monthly.
  • As a lump sum, either out of your savings or when you sell your house or other property.
  • Payment from any money or property that you keep or get from your court case (civil and family cases).
