You should negotiate a payment plan with the other driver's insurance company. An agreement should be in writing and you should have an attorney review the paperwork before you sign.
If you were involved in an at fault accident where you caused damage to another vehicle, you are responsible for those damages. The insurance company that had to pay because you did not is perfectly entitled to have your license revoked. You need to make arrangements to repay them for the damage you caused.
