In 2016/17, 590,649 warrants of control (previously referred to as distress warrants) were issued in respect of financial penalties imposed by the criminal courts. Verifiable centralised records do not exist beyond this date and it would incur disproportionate costs to answer this question.

This Government takes recovery and enforcement of financial impositions very seriously and remains committed to finding new ways to ensure impositions are paid and to trace those who do not pay. This is why there has been a year on year increase in the total amount of financial penalties collected over the last three years. The amount of money collected reached an all time high of £290 million at the end of 2013/14 and collections continue to rise. In 2013/14 the total outstanding balance of financial impositions reduced by £26.7m (5%) in the year.
We do not keep data on the numbers of distress warrants returned uncollected.
It is not possible to provide figures on the proportion of those warrants returned where the impositions were subsequently collected by the National Crime and Enforcement Service due to the constraints of the current IT system.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice for how long approved enforcement agents hold distress warrants before they are returned to his Department as uncollected.

The present contract states that the distress warrants should be returned after 180 days, but allows for this to be extended in blocks of 30-days with the approval of HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS)
enforcement manager. Extensions are normally granted where the approved enforcement agents have engaged with the offender and have entered into a payment plan or they have new intelligence to pursue, which could result in the payment of the debt.
HMCTS takes the issue of financial penalty enforcement very seriously and is working to ensure that clamping down on defaulters is a continued priority nationwide. HMCTS actively pursues all outstanding impositions until certain they cannot be collected. Collection reached an all time high at the end of 2012-13 and collection has continued to rise in this financial year.
HMCTS are actively seeking an external provider for the future delivery of compliance and enforcement services. This will bring the necessary investment and innovation to significantly improve the collection of criminal financial penalties and reduce the cost of the service to the taxpayer.

Data on the numbers of distress warrants returned uncollected are not collected. Under the existing contract the national target is 20% of cases to be fully paid within 180 days. Distress warrants are used for offenders who wilfully do not engage with the court to pay their fines and as a result are harder to collect.
The performance for this financial year to December 2013 is 22.78%.
The approved enforcement agents return cases for several reasons these include—out of time, no goods to levy, gone away no trace, vulnerable, in prison, deported/emigrated and bankrupt. Some of these returns will include part payments, where they have been successful in obtaining some of the money but not all.
