Hi,
This is my first time on here and it seems there's a lot of helpful people so any advice would be much appreciated.
Last week through the post I received a further steps notice fine of £145 from the local enforcement office. After calling up they explained I didn't pay a fine and didn't show for a court summons. The address this was all sent to was unknown to me and I believe someone from college has used my details (name and DOB) to escape a fine.
Today I visited the local magistrates courts and filed a Statutory Declaration of True Name (SDTN), it was all very nerve racking and they said the metro system may investigate. I know I have nothing to worry about because it wasn't me but I really wanted to know what happens from here, what may come back to me and if any one else has had the same problem.
I was originally just going to pay the fine off to end the worry but they explained I'd receive a criminal record which is something that I really don't need.
Thanks
