Paying Summons Costs: Explanation and Advice

Questioner

Dear Sir/Madam, my question is as follows. I have received a summons and I paid the bill before the date the event is due to take place, but do I still have to pay the costs of the summons?

Questioner

Yes, you must pay the bailiff's fees if you pay only after receiving the summons. If you don't, there's a good chance you'll still be convicted because you only partially paid the claim. In that case, you'll also have to pay the legal costs. So, my advice is to pay the bailiff's fees and send a letter to the court, along with copies of your bank statements showing that you've paid in full by the date you're due in court.
