Re: Words fail me.
 

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:confused:

Lost me then AM how can compo orders be void if they are imprisoned for a different offence? :confused: :confused: It should be no different from any bill. Does that mean if I got 6 months my credit card bills would be void? Yep I doubt it so why should a vic suffer this is the criminals get out clause; ordered to pay £1500 in compo cant be bothered paying so get locked up for 3 months for doing something else and hey presto the compo order has been voided yeha.

DEF NOT RIGHT OR FAIR!!!!!!!!

Yeh im telling you as it is - honest guv!

Its a bit of another legal red tape i found out from the court enforcement office, i was soooo fuming on the phone because ok £38 may not be a lot but its still not the point i was awarded it so i should of got it all! They spent ages chasing him for the measely £12 he paid but as soon as he got back to prison the wouldnt chase him for it again, but not for non payment & not the original crime of a section 18 but for harrassment of me aka the victim too which he later carried out after being let out.

Having fought through the courts for justice as far as i can see it is all for the defendant & not the victim in any case....just my opinion based on my experiences.
