appearance date or on your sentencing date. Other late fees may be imposed in accordance with local ordinance).

your rates to increase.
Issue a warrant for your arrest and your warrant will go into the regional law enforcement warrant system.
Notify a credit bureau about your bad debt and place your future credit at risk.
Seize your wages, tax refunds, bank accounts or personal property such as your car if nonexempt.
Notify a collection agency who will take action, on behalf of the court, to collect the unpaid balance.
