Am I in trouble for paying my restitution late?

Question

I've never paid late in 3 years, I have the money it just slipped my mind, I will go in on tuesday morning and pay and call my P.O. It will only be two days late, will I be put back in jail or violated?

Answer 1

You will be, definitely!  When you go to court though, and prove that you paid two days late, they won't do anything...don't make it a habit but don't sweat the first time.

Answer 2

If this is the first time you are late on a payment in 3 years, you will probably NOT be violated.  But how late are you?  Days? Weeks? Months?  That makes a difference.  To be sure there is not a problem, remember you are on probation to the court.  Simply go to the court and explain the situation, if your PO gives you a hard time.
