He said a JUDGEMENT will not appear on my credit as long as I pay on Sept 30. I was reading the confession and it does have a contingency line about the $400 payment on Sept. 30. So I guess its me confessing to a judgement if I couldn't make the agreed upon final payment... thoughts?

NEVER, I repeat, NEVER sign a "Confession of Judgment" with any party (lendor, creditor, landlord, lien holder, et al). It allows them to go to court and immediately establish a judgment amount YOU have to pay to them without you even being notified ante- or ex post facto. Simply move forward with your verbally agreed upon Sept. payment of the remaining $400.00...oh, and insist upon written notification that account/settlement has been closed.
