Dealing with unaffordable tickets?

Kia Ora, I (m19) just got done for driving on a learners license and a freshly expired wof. I just received compliance or a $600 fine.

I need my wof and reg and $170 for my restricted test however I’m on the benefit working casually only making $3-500 a week. after paying all of my bills and food etc I am left with like $50 a week and they expect me to be able to come up with either $600 for the fine or roughly $300 for my license, wof and reg. I genuinely can’t afford this and i only have like 15 days to do it all.

I have been told if I can’t pass my test that I need to wait for my ticket to go to the ministry of justice so I can set up a payment plan buts it’s going to increase by a couple hundred $.

Honestly losing my shit as it’s been a disgusting start to the year, how should I handle this?

ETA: unsure if this holds any value but the officer lied to me saying that my wof doesn’t matter as it hasn’t been out for long and that I won’t be fined for it, yet I’m being fined $200.
