i dont have the money to pay it right now.

what will happen if i just dont pay it?

would i be better off calling the office and telling them i cant pay it or what?

what would they tell me?

Answer 1

They can:

A) Suspend your license

B) Issue an arrest warrent

C) Give you another extention (Do not expect this one to happen.)

Good luck.

Answer 2

a warrant WILL be issued for your arrest...most likely a failure to appear and a warrant for the actual offense...either dont get stopped by the police or save up and pay for the warrants...or go to jail and sit it out...

Answer 3

It varies from state to state (and I don't know anything about Indiana), but among the things that could happen:

- The amount you need to pay may go up *a lot.*

- Your driver's license may get suspended or revoked.

- If you ever get pulled over for something else, you may get taken into custody.

So (as you probably already guessed): you would be MUCH better off calling the office and telling them you can't pay. I'm sure it happens to others. I don't know exactly what they'll tell you, but they may have a program to give you time to pay. At any rate, the outcome won't be worse than just not paying.

Answer 4

A warrant will be issued for your arrest.

Answer 5

They could put a bench warrant out for your arrest!!

Answer 6

Yes, call them and tell them you can't afford it now.  They might let you do a payment plan or something.

Answer 7

My dad got one so i wrote a letter for him asking for proof and photographic evidence that he was the one who was driving, didn't receive any reply and next thing he received a court summons, went to court and explained that he was waiting for a reply and evidence and had not rec'd a reply and he ended up getting away with it as it was there fault for not replying.

Answer 8

u might have to go to court

Answer 9

A warrent then if court. You might be guilty and get your license/permit taken away from you and/or $5,000 or 6 months or years in prison.

It depends up on the court. Ask your parents to help pay for you or ask your friends for the money; tell them you'll pay them back. Or get a job and try to make money fast and work over hours if you have to just to get the money.
