My apologies for this long-winded post but I'm at my wits end trying to obtain employment due to my past criminal history of misdemeanor shoplifting.  I was terminated from my longstanding healthcare employment of 9 years (with an exemplary history) after being denied an AZ fingerprint clearance card.  In 2001 when first hired by this employer, I was initially denied a fingerprint clearance but I successfully appealed & eventually obtained clearance.  However, years later, I was denied once again on this last application and after a lengthy appeal process, I was ordered to attend an administrative hearing before a law judge 100+ miles from my city and residence on the matter.  Mind you I could not afford legal representation as I'm a single mother and the sole supporter of our household and so unfortunately I was completely unprepared to represent my case in all that would be asked of me.  The hearing contained only myself and a female administrative law judge.  She asked for detailed accountings of all of my past offenses of quite some time ago, specific dates, explanations in my own words of each one, etc.  Because I had previously submitted my written detailed accountings to the board before the hearing, I had none of my records, thinking I wouldn't need them and like a moron   I became very confused and flustered.  At one point even asking for some water (which she had)  but she ignored me, if you can believe it (I couldn't)  Undoubtedly, one of the most traumatic experiences of my life (and believe me, I've had many).  So, I was denied a fingerprint clearance based on her interpretation of my inconsistencies during this hearing.   It didn't matter to her that I was a single mother and that my employment would be directly affected by her decision.  I have been on unemployment since, going on 2 years now.  I have no monetary resources to obtain legal counsel in clearing my record, so this too, I am now attempting on my own since I can't find employment with these past offenses hanging over my head.  I filed individual APPLICATIONS AND ORDERS TO SET ASIDE JUDGMENT ACCUSATION & PENALTIES on my multiple past misdemeanor shoplifting (offenses 13-1805) & (1) DV case (offense 13-1203.1)  and received back the following responses in a post-it note attached to each offense by (I'm guessing the clerk of the court? There was no title or name attached):

NOTE:  Text noted in blue in [brackets] are my responses.

Case #1 (DV case (offense 13-1203.1/plead no contest 1/98) Clerk of the court mailed back w/post-it note "you owe the court $1020 and DV counseling." 
[Court was to have suspended fine on successful completion of DV program compliance submitted which I completed but court records show proof of DV counseling record was never submitted -Should I now submit a copy of my DV counseling completion attached to another form JP165/Application & order to set aside judgment accusation & penalties?]

Case #2 (Shoplifting 13-1805/acquitted) Clerk of the court notes "You were acquitted, no judgment to set aside." 
[Problem is this still shows in public records and anyone can see it including future employers!  Hello?]    

Case #3 & 4 (Shoplifting 13-1805) Clerk of the court notes "Case dismissed no judgment to set aside."
[Same problem as case #2!  Hello?]

Case #4, 5, 6, 7 (Shoplifting 13-1805) Clerk of court notes "Account in collection for fines owed to the court, $270, $920, $195, $36.50" 
[Some of these fines were listed in personal bankruptcy protection & subsequentely discharged, and some were collected out of my AZ state income tax, but one of them the $920 fine I can't pay!  What can I do?  Otherwise the conditions of all of the sentences were met!  Is there some kind of an indigent form I can file regarding these debts not being able to be collected when I have no money to pay them thereby preventing me from getting these misdemeanor convictions set aside so I can get a JOB!  I'm so CONFUSED & LOST!  Can somebody…anybody HELP ME? The courts won't!  They look at me like I'm a MORON!  I realize I did very stupid things in my past, but how am I to move on when I'm still being punished for it?  OMG!  Can anyone advise me what I can do and need to file?
