what happens if you don't pay court costs on time
Report Abuse. When you first neglected to pay the court costs a warrant was most likely issued on you. You need to turn yourself in to the issuing agency. Then you don't have to worry about getting pulled on your way to work, and taken to jail.f it is just court cost it will mess your credit up and next time you file your taxes they will take it then. But it is better to pay it and not make them take it by force. BUT yes the IRS will take it when you file. (eventually). Source(s): Have the same issue.
