Q: I’m unable to pay my court fines and missed the last court date, what do I do?
I'm seeking guidance and advice regarding a situation I am facing with being unable to pay court fines. Unfortunately, I have already missed the last court date, which was meant to address non-payment of fines. Now I'm uncertain about the necessary steps to take and whom I should contact in order to address this matter. At present, I do not have any active warrants, but I understand that this is only a temporary situation. It is crucial for me to ascertain the appropriate course of action and the necessary contacts to prevent this issue from escalating further. If anyone could help with knowledge of the appropriate individuals or agencies to contact, and any specific steps I should take to address this matter promptly and effectively. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time
