    Default Probation Expiration with Balance Due of $330

    I am from the state of Georgia, and my probation has expired on Feb. 16, 2011 with a balance due of $330. My Probation officer has told me that it has been turned over to the judge at this time, and that no further payment arrangements will be made, unless I have the entire balance. I have been going through financial hardship since October, and barely been able to pay my fees at the mens shelter in which I'm staying, as well. If I don't pay my fees at the shelter, I lose my roof and my bed, I loose my PART TIME job, as well as the job I am about to get, therefore, not paying my probation and going to jail. If I don't pay my probation, I possibly go to jail anyway, as well. Catch 22...is there anyone out there that can give me some advice?

    Default Re: Probation Expiration with Balance Due of $330

    We don't know the background facts for your situation, so we cannot even begin to assess it - what the underlying charge was, how long you were on probation, how much restitution you paid while on probation, the court's policies when there's unpaid restitution at the end of probation (with unpaid assessments coupled with financial hardship, some judges are inclined to extend probation if possible), your chances of getting additional hours at work or a full-time job, how much of this you can document to the court....

    The best thing to do is to find a way to pay off the money, even if you have to borrow from a friend or family member. From your description of your situation, though, I suspect you're pretty much alienated from the people in your family who could help you with that, which would be unfortunate.
