Upon sentencing, all costs, fines and restitution imposed by the court shall be immediately due and payable unless the court, in its sole discretion, shall grant the defendant permission to defer payment to a later date or to make payments over a period of time; provided, however, that if the defendant fails to make any payment as scheduled the entire amount shall be immediately due and payable unless the court directs otherwise.

If a defendant who is granted deferred or time payment of costs, fines and restitution is unable to make any payment when due, the defendant shall appear in person before the court on or before the date when the payment is due and state the reasons for his or her inability to make payment. The court shall inquire into the inability of the defendant to make payment. If the court is satisfied that the defendant is unable to pay all or a part of the payment, the court may conditionally or unconditionally amend or suspend all or a part of the payment schedule.
