My 18 year old son received 200 pounds worth of fines and costs a couple of months ago at magistrates court. In court he gave his address as mine even though he's classed for other purposes as living with his mum. However it appears that he hasnt been paying his fine and hes received a final demand for payment in full from the court. The letter states that if it isnt paid then steps will be taken to recover the money and one of the possible steps will be refferal to the bailifs for siezure of goods. Since he isnt actually living with me how would this work out with the bailifs? Would they have a right to enter my home or take my goods? The only possessions that my son has at mine is a bed and a cd player.
Thank you.

OK, thanks EDDIE and Pete, all sound advice, cheers.
nailit, just send it back to the court and forget about it, you have plenty of problems of your own without this worry on top.
By the way, is there any news on the mental health team / probation situation yet?
Question Author
Thanks EDDIE, helpful as always, much appreciated. Mental health team about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike and probation only concerned that I dont end up in court again (not that ive got any plans on that happening again).
I supposed to have a care co ordinator but only seen him 3 times in the last 14 months and he never returns calls so just muddle along best as I can.
