    You could be sentenced to the time you would have received had you not received probation - because you have not paid the fines, made restitution and/or report to your PO I suspect the Court will not give you another chance and extend your probation.

    Of course, only a Judge knows 100%.

    I would say no - not unless the person contacted the Court and advised of the changed circumstances, asked for a modification. At that point the Court could have invoked the sentence OR modified the terms of probation.

    This does not explain why person did not report.
