TITLE: I'm in a pickle
POST: So while on midtour leave from Iraq I was given a speeding ticket, the cop wasn't in his car and as writing another drive a ticket a short while later he tracked me down and ticketed me for speeding. 

Not only was I not speeding I had cruise control on set to the speeding ticket. A speeding ticket was written regardless of my reasoning to the officer.

A week later I then contacted the court and told them to postpone the court date as I still had 8 months worth of Iraq left and couldn't do anything about the ticket. 

A short while after returning(a week or two) to the states my mom informed me that she was receiving collections bills to her house with my name on them for my ticket.

This happened in Washington, I am a Montana resident and it's preventing me from getting my drivers license renewed, I also don't have the money to pay the outrageous collections fees. 

What should I do reddit?
TL;DR: 
Got a speeding ticket, went to Iraq, informed district court I was in Iraq and to postpone the court date, got screwed and ticket went to collections destroying my credit and certain things like getting a new license.
