Please Please Help Me...Part 2

I received an email from Superior and she said that she spoke to Apothaker and Associates and they gave her an offer of $9700.00 with payment over 3 months. There is no way we can do that so I guess we are screwed. I don't know what to do. I am going to send the DV letter but I doubt it will do anything. Superior said they don't know what will happen if we send them a DV letter but she hopes it will prolong a lawsuit. Either way it is not a good situation and I am just really upset. Has anyone else had this sort of situation happen to them..they made an offer..you couldn't pay and then there was a law suit? Thanks
