- Court approves 15-year repayment plan
A WOMAN who racked up 434 unpaid fines and costs of $112,000, appeared in court yesterday claiming she "wasn't aware of the severity" of the fines.
Malvina Moffatt, of Geelong, Victoria, asked Geelong Magistrates Court to grant a six to eight week adjournment saying she hadn't had the opportunity to obtain legal advice because she was working full-time, Geelong Advertiser reports.
When asked by Magistrate Ron Saines whether she had made any attempt to pay off the amount owing, Ms Moffatt said she had made some recent payments.
Mr Saines said most of Ms Moffatt's unpaid fines appeared to have stemmed from unpaid toll fees, with some parking matters as well.
Ms Moffatt told the court she had not driven on any tollways for more than six months, but her daughter had used her car and was working in Melbourne.
Ms Moffatt said she worked full-time for the Education Department in Geelong and took home $1100 per week and was prepared to enter a payment plan.
Asked how much she could afford to pay each week, Ms Moffatt said she wasn't sure.
Mr Saines said he would agree to an adjournment request, but only until December 13, to allow Ms Moffatt to obtain legal representation.
The magistrate directed her to pay $150 per week, and to produce all her receipts upon her return to court on December 13, both in relation to the recent payments and those up to the adjournment date.
At $150 per week it would take Ms Moffatt more than 15 years to pay off her fines.
