Around here when a fine is not paid they sell them to bill collection agencies.
They're offenses for which you can be arrested in most jurisdictions. It's considered contempt of court when you don't pay your fine. Even parking tickets left unpaid rise to the level of contempt of court and become something you can serve time for. You're not serving time for the parking violation, as that's not a criminal offense. You're serving time for not paying the fine, which is contempt of court.
Yeah that's how it used to be, they would put you in jail for not paying. I think now a days they would rather have the money, and they don't care who pays it, just so long as the get the money
Huh... I'd just never pay the fine. I'd be a criminal, so I don't think I'd much care about my credit.
I wonder if you can wait 7 years and write it off in a bankruptcy?
