hi for everyone whos ans my question?

Question

im the person with the warrent out and have huge debt but keep running.

my children are 2yrs and 9mths so they dont understand. im 19years old. i have also bounced a few cheque books knowing they wont clear as i saw my mum get away with doing this and this is why im running.

before anyone calls my stupid. i do realise this now but i was naeive and thought id get away with it and pay off a bit off a week. but it's got too far for me to pay off as i spoke to pi and he said that the bank will not let me pay off as they know i cant afford this as its such a huge amount.

also, i cant go bankrupt as i dont have anything to go bankrupt with. i have no savings and at the mo we get help off dole as my partner is doing a plumbing course so we no longer have to have this help off dole and im a full-time housewife as i can tafford kids to go into nusrsery while i work.

this is bad and was wondering how far would the judge go with this if i was to hand myself in, regarding ive ran

Answer 1

You need to turn yourself in, as I think you already realise, as otherwise you might find yourself facing a charge of absconding, i.e. being on the run for an appreciable period, and the court would take a very dim view of this. As it is, if you turn up to court the court will withdraw the warrant, charge you with an offence under the Bail Act and then remand you to a later date so that the CPS can retrieve its files on your case. You will be entitled to legal representation and you will want to plead guilty to these offences, as you committed them with your eyes open, knowing the consequences. I think that inevitably the court will remand you to another date for reports from the Probation Services and the Probation Services will make a recommendation which the court will take very seriously when questioning you. Please go ahead and turn yourself in. Worrying about it will probably turn out to be worse than actually doing it.

Answer 2

If I were you I would ring the police don't tell them where you are and ask what will happen to you this is tricky as you have 2 young children which will go for you as 1 is a baby to be honest it does sound as though it is the cheque fraud rather than the debt that there is a warrant if it was just the debt you would have to have been taken to court that is a county court and an arrangement would be made but fraud is serious don't get too alarmed until you find out for sure good luck

Answer 3

if you explain to a judge what you have here with emphasis on the part about your mother doing the same , explain that you have followed a bad example and realised to late how wrong it is to do what you have done . tell the judge that you realise that you need to set a better example to your children and would be grateful for a second chance to get things right .

i think the judge will probably order you to repay the outstanding balances at a pound a week and might even order the debts cleared (you should never have been given credit)
your running from your own fear STOP because you can't outrun it , put all this down in a letter for the judge and go to citizens advice it is unlikely you will even go to court .

you are young and we all make mistakes but if it ever happens again you are a fool and your kids would be better off in care .

Answer 4

Your situation will go a long way in your defense. There is no debtors prison so you don't have to worry about criminal action over debts you incurred unless they were the result of fraud. In order to prove that, the state has to be able to prove intent and that is very difficult unless you admit to it. Otherwise, you are just one of many who made some bad financial decisions.

If you're thinking of turning yourself in, whatever you do get a lawyer first. Just go down to Legal Aid and they will provide one for you free of charge.

If I were a betting man, I would put my money on no charges being laid. Criminal court judges take a dim view of lenders trying to use the courts for their collection agencies.

Good luck...we'll keep a good thought for your success in getting out of this mess.

Answer 5

I loved the first one extra ideal. It jogs my memory of the ninety 5 12 months previous guy that went to confession. once contained in the "sales area" he explicitly tells the priest about the more youthful woman he replaced into with the evening earlier and how they made love 5 situations in a unmarried evening. The Priest asks him at the same time as he'd been to his very last confession and the guy says by no skill! The priest asks him why not, and he says because he's Jewish. The priest then asks him why he got here to the Catholic church to inform it to the priest. The previous guy replies: "Father, i'm ninety 5 years previous, ....i'm telling all of us I meet!"

Answer 6

Hand yourself in. It's the only way to get this sorted. Hopefully the judge should take this into account and also your age. Just tell them you were very scared and overwhelmed by the debt.

If you don't you'll never rest.

Answer 7

The judge would take u a long way and i would try your best to pay of your debts i know it is hard anda you must be feeling distressed but i wouldn't turn myself in i would try all that i can to get those debts cleared. Anywho please take care and good luck. x x

Answer 8

My suggestion would be to turn yourself in. You seem to have dug a hole so deep, you don't know how to stop digging. So at least let a judge stop you from digging any deeper.
