Govt getting tough on unpaid fines

By: Jacqui Stanford | Latest Political News | Saturday February 4 2012 6:20

 

The Government's getting tough on people with unpaid fines.

From the 13th of this month, the Ministry of Justice will have the power to release overdue amounts to credit reporting agencies.

They can then provide contact details of the debtors, so the Ministry can enforce payment.

Courts Minister Chester Borrows says the move will target people who have no intention of paying up.

He says anyone who's made a repayment plan with the Ministry has nothing to be concerned about.
