Too little detail to guess. Please re-post in Law. IMHO (and I am not a lawyer). If a fairly trivial "Littering Fine" has got as far as a "Court Summons", somebody is cutting it fine to present an irrefutable defence.

at a guess, you can pay it but it won't alter the fact that you didn't pay it within the required period, which is what it will amost certainly say in the summons. This may depend on what country you're in.
You can offer to pay the fixed penalty and hope that the prosecution is withdrawn but there's no legal obligation upon the local authority to do so. They might state that they'll only stop the prosecution if you'll pay their legal expenses (which they'll already have incurred) on top of the fixed penalty but, far more likely, they'll simply go ahead with the prosecution.

Your fine will be based upon your income but, as a giude, expect it to be in the order of £150, plus £20 'victim surcharge' and perhaps £80 in costs. (i.e. you'll probably have to pay around £250, together with getting, or adding to, a criminal record).
The fine may have increased due to delay but as long as you pay the full sum demanded that should be the end of the matter.
