Your Options If You Can't Afford To Pay 1. MyCitations MyCitations is an online petition system as an optional way to request a reduction for your fine(s) in cases of financial need. As part of your request, you must show proof that you do not have the financial means to pay your fine. You may ask the court to consider your ability to pay at any point in the process, but you must enter a plea of guilty or no contest before the court can give you an answer. The MyCitations online tool allows you to enter a plea and make ability to pay requests on eligible infractions without going to court. In addition to requesting a reduction, you can request a payment plan, more time to pay, or ask to complete community service instead of paying fines and fees. If your case is currently in collections and you cannot afford to pay your debt, you may still use MyCitations. Please note that if you do not act by the date on your citation and courtesy notice, the court may add an additional fee of up to $100. If you cannot afford the fine amount, you can request a reduction to the amount you owe at any time while the fines remain unpaid. Fines and fees owed from a misdemeanor or felony offense are not eligible to request a reduction.
