You can get legal aid to help with legal costs. If you get legal aid, you might have to pay some money back. The Commissioner can make you pay this debt. They can do this in the same way they would if you had agreed to pay the debt directly. This can happen if a charge is registered because of a condition of your legal aid, or if a charge is created automatically under section 36. If you try to avoid paying the debt, the Commissioner can still make you pay. However, if someone buys something from you without knowing about the debt, they do not have to pay it. You cannot avoid paying the debt by giving your things to someone else or doing something that stops the Commissioner from getting the money. The Commissioner follows rules to make sure you pay the debt. These rules are like the ones that apply when people agree to pay debts directly. You can find more information about this in section 18(3) and section 36.
