I was in Australia from 2007 to Feb 2012. In 2010, I had an car accident. The other party insurance sued me to pay 2000$.

I didn't pay. Will it affect my police clearance?

Hi Harjit,

It probably depends what action followed you not paying the money. Was the money pursued further in court?

No - An order that you pay a civil debt does not appear on a criminal record.
