6 yrs on im still waiting £38 from my victim of criminal compensation, the perpretrator only paid £12 of a £50 compensation of the injuries i was given by him!! I wont ever see it now either cos when i rung the court a few years back they said cos the perpretrator got a spell inside for doing something else - the compensation is void & that they wont traced him up for it. Ok not much victims weren't paid an awful lot in compo but the fact that i got it awarded & he was to pay it by order of court but because the criminal was in prison - they cancelled the order.
So after that i have no faith in the criminal injuries board or victim compo because they aint bothered enough to enforce it - but if it was a speeding fine im sure the would definately enforced it & penalities till it was paid up.
So basically it balls anyway cos if genuine victims of crime get cast aside for petty cash or nothing then what hope is there for the wrongly convicted
