Revenue Collection
Monies in payment of an Education Penalty Notices will be collected by Stockport MBC and will be paid into a specifically designated budget. Any sums received by the LA must be applied in meeting the costs of issuing and enforcing notices, or the cost of prosecuting recipients who do not pay. Any surplus will be applied towards other functions of the LA which serve to support the regular attendance at school of registered pupils. Payment arrangements will be detailed on the Education Penalty Notice and will include provision for online or telephone payments by credit or debit card.
Only payment in full within the specified payment period will be accepted as discharging the fine recipient’s liability for the offence. Payments received after the end of the payment period will be returned. Part-payment or payment by instalments will not be accepted. Payment can be made by any person on behalf of the recipient of the notice.
A database shall be used by Stockport Family to record relevant information relating to Formal Warnings and Education Penalty Notices, including, when they were issued, when they are to be paid/prosecuted and how many have been issued.
