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

Lost me then AM how can compo orders be void if they are imprisoned for a different offence? 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.
