Contact the court clerk where your case is to find out exactly how much you owe, to whom (victim, county, state), and what payment options exist (installments, community service).
Ask: “Can I apply for indigent status or make a showing of inability to pay?” This may open up alternative payment methods.
Ask about community service in lieu of payment if you cannot pay. For example in Las Vegas-area one program states court-ordered fines may be worked off at a rate of $10 per hour or minimum wage. lasvegasjusticecourt.us
