Hi newcomer looking for sound opinions,
I had a few registered parking fines and speeding fines that I set up a time to pay for. I then left for a few months on holiday with an understanding that a family member would continue the payments but this fell through.
Prior to leaving, I updated my address with WA fines. However since my return, I’ve now been informed that my prior address was still recorded and that sheriff warrants have been sent out. My previous fines we’re just around 1000$ but they’ve now jumped to $5600.
I explained that I had been receiving no mail at my updated address and that the previous homeowners were elderly and only recently informed me of the sheriffs visit which led to me contacting them. I’m a student with only a casual job and would love to appeal the warrants or at least decrease them. Does anyone know if this is possible or likely?
