It will go to collector, but worst will be that you will lose your license until the fines are paid.

Collections or jail... its up to the judge.

Forget collections, you'll have a warrant out for your arrest. You should hire a lawyer to go to court to get an extension. A lawyer can do this without you present, so it is less risky for you.

No, the court will issue a warrant for your arrest if you fail to pay the fines by the deadline. If this is in Missouri and you are on probation, your failure to pay will cause the prosecutor to file a motion to revoke your probation and there will be a probation revocation hearing. If the judge decides to revoke your probation, the judge can sentence you for the original crime that you committed.

Yes, if your fines have not been paid by the end of your probation then it will be handled civilly with collections.
