Legal assistance with fines and bailiffs

Questioner

I got a fine a few months ago from a year and a half ago and I don't know anything about it but now I had a bailiff and the amount has been increased by 200 euros. I am still a minor myself so my question was whether they are entitled to this?

Lawyer

You need to be a bit more specific. Being a minor does not always mean that you cannot be held liable for actions or omissions. The fact that a fine/claim is increased by the bailiff is due to the increase in the fine/claim with bailiff's costs and statutory interest. Please feel free to contact me so I can better answer your question. Yours sincerely,

Lawyer

The question is when you received the actual fine. Normally you can file an objection within a certain period. If you have not done so, the fine is 'irrevocable'. This means that it is fixed and that you must pay it. If you then do not pay it, it may indeed happen that a bailiff is called in. If you have never received the fine yourself or only recently, then an objection may still be open. However, I would go to a lawyer or the Legal Desk with all the paperwork. Success!
