Hi Jodie ,
I also have a debt (a fine for non payment of animal council registration $398 X 2 ) as I have 2 dogs . I paid the annual registration but they still sent the debt to SPER. They threatened to suspend my DL which I must have done something right or they can’t suspend for non traffic fines. You may be safe from DL suspension if that’s the case . I am still fighting it but got another fine so I am now attempting to pay the total amount with a BOE . I wrote also 3 notices to the CEO QPF all by registered Mail . I confirmed they were delivered and every one ignored / nil response . At least if you do all the paperwork you have that to use to hold your position and strengthen your position. Good luck !
