This is not a collection issue. Its a criminal law issue and you need to speak to your criminal law attorney about it. Usually, the court will set you up on some kind of payment plan if you are not able to make your payments. I have not heard of the court remitting restitution either, but I do not do criminal law. The debts are not dischargeable in bankruptcy.
