Newcomer / Intro Why they don't want to pay me?

So I went to an Interstellar Factor to collect the bounties and they still don't want to pay me 😢

I know this port has interstellar factions because I've been here to pay fines when I shot clean ships by mistake and got a bounty on me.
Also EDDB says so:

The only thing I can think to ask is are you clicking on the Authority contact or perhaps two down Legal Services? It says its the Authority contact try the others
 
You'll find Interstellar Factors at any station in a low security or anarchy system, additionally any station that is controlled by an anarchy faction regardless of the system security level.

Easiest just to look for a populated low security system.
 
Yeah, they done did they Inglund bad thear.

What they mean is 'any station' within that system (where you acquired the bounty) that has that particular faction in it.

Yes, I know.
But that still does not explain how come I've been there to pay fines before and EDDB says it does have an Interstellar Factor.

That system is currently a medium security system and the controlling faction for O'Connor Dock is a corporate faction.

Systems can change security levels and factions controlling a station can change. It's probable that one of those things has happened. EDDB is simply incorrect (or more likely the Interstellar Factors info is out of date). That station would not have an IF under the current system / station conditions. :)
 
I've found a low security system with an interstellar factor 5 jumps away, received my bounties, went back to my home system, went to a high RES, landed a tiny "PEW" on a clean ship, the pirates killed the clean ship, I got a bounty and notoriety, went back to the interestellar factor port and now I'm chilling my notoriety off 🙄
 
EDDB does not say that O'Connor Dock in G 139-3 has interstellar factors. EDDB page for this station. "Interstellar Factors" is marked in faint red, not solid green - meaning it does not currently have that facility. Perhaps it did once, but it hasn't had it for a while as the station is the controlling station for the system and the G 139-3 system has been firmly in Federation Corporate control as far back as INARA records can see.

The "defaut" bounty when you blow up a criminal always belongs to the local jurisdiction owner. But whenever you use the KWS, you have a chance of picking up bounties from outside the current jurisdiction in addition to the main bounty. These bounties could come from literally anywhere in the bubble (I routinely acquire bounties from factions based 200 LY away).

If you were to choose to hand in these distant vouchers in person, rather than using an interstellar factor (personally, I find going on an occasional bounty-collecting road trip to make a nice change of pace, sometimes; the exploration credits from scanning-while-travelling are a nice bonus too), then there are two ways of finding the issuing faction.

First, for the vast majority of NPC factions, their home system is right there in their name. In the case of the examples in the OP picture, the home systems for those six minor factions are Nicassee, Sakpatsya, Pularungu, LO Muscae, HIP 9774 and Haroingori, respectively. While these factions might be present in other systems, they will be present in those systems. So you can just type that name into the galaxy map search button, and plot a course.

Second, of course, are third party tools; these are optional for the above minor factions, but more or less essential for finding "generic-name NPC factions" like Blue Allied Industries, and also of course for PMFs, which rarely indicate their system of origin.
 
............. EDDB says it does have an Interstellar Factor.

The fact that it is listed in red in your screen-shot might give you a clue that it is not available. The list of facilities in the EDDB station pages is kind of generic, the green ones are the ones that exist at that particular station.
