    No sure of what you can do. Have you made any attempt to pay the fine? 1400 pound is a lot of money.

    Is this the UK? I am surprised that failure to pay one's debt is still (apparently) a crime. Is it really true?

    This isn't a debt but a court FINE, and Yes you can be arrested and jailed if you fail to make payments, as this is a criminal matter.
    All this information is laid out in the original judgement, including the payment terms.
