You can speak to them to see if you can pay the arrears off over a longer period, but they are under no obligation to allow you to do so, and you'd have to offer to pay a significant amount each week. They are allowed to take a maximum of 40% of your takehome pay for maintenance and arrears combined. What is the reason you got into arrears in the first place? If it's their fault, then you may have a better chance of asking for longer to pay.
