Came across this article in my local paper today .Apparently there is 541million pounds outstanding in unpaid fines,compensation payments and costs ,20m is owed in the north east region .This was brought to light after the
Evening Chronicle heard of a woman who had £800 wiped off because she admitted she would never be able to pay
I have said for years now and i am sure others will agree that it is pointless fining some people because they have no means of paying ,no intention of ever paying and never will .
I am sure that the figure of 541million is in actuality far greater if collection costs are taken into account.So what can be done ,how should the system be changed
