We then send a setting request to the Court, and you will go back before the Court and explain why you’re not making monthly payments to the Judge.

The Judge then has the following options:

  • Send you to jail to lay out the full balance owed.
  • Waive part of the court costs, fines, and/or attorney fees.
  • Find you indigent and waive all of the remaining fees.
  • Order you to preform community service hours
    monthly. Credit is given toward the amount you owe at a rate of $15 per hour of community service.

These notifications are a reminder that you need to make payment. Even $1 passed due will trigger calls and text messages reminding you to make payment.
