Do you still have to go to court if you signed a stip?

I'm not sure. I would think that if you signed one there is no court date.

who is the attorney collecting for?

They are collection for midland

i would still check with your courthouse clerk to make sure.
seen it on the forums.the CA or attorney makes consumer
think they have an arrangement and such.next thing there
is a default judgement.check with your court clerk.

Should I call the attorneys? Or should I just bring my copy when I go to court? How long does it take anyway for them to file it with the court, if you know?

your clerk will know if a case was filed and if a court date
was set.if the attorney is filing i would just show up.one other
question,was this stip for a payment arrangement?

The court date was set already after I answered the summmons, Shouldn't it have been discontinued? now I'm wondering if they filed the agreement with the court, how long do I have to wait. Yes, this is for a payment arrangement

One other question: Can you go to jail if you answered your summons first with you have never done business with the plaintiff and then reached an agreement with them? I read somewhere that you could get into trouble.

Had you ever done business with Midland? Probably not. Did you make a statement anywhere in your response that you reserve the right to amend your answers? Most answers to summons tend to be boilerplate answers. Since your original relationship was with an OC and not a JDB, I would say that you did not perjure yourself if you answered "no knowledge of an account with a JDB". Obviously, the plaintiff was able to provide you with enough information thru the course of the suit to convince you otherwise since you have signed the stipulation of judgement.

No, I never did business with midland that's why I answered it that way. but during that time, like you said, I was shown the proof and want to try and pay this off without having to go to court. My case still shows as "active" when I checked online, how long does it take to file the agreement? My court date is Monday.

Since you've already signed the stip, the plaintiff's attorney will show in court Monday with it and it will be entered in as a judgement for plaintiff. Moving forward, just make sure you stick to the agreement and once you have it paid off that the court record reflects a satisfied judgement.

i would still show up and persent the signed stip.the CA might
try to get a different payment than agreed.

Thanks, that's what I wasn't sure of, if they could file electronically or will they file on the day the court date was scheduled.

Well, I called up the attorney's office to ask, I left a message and they never called back, now I don't know what they are going to do with my signed paper, they are the ones who gave it to me to sign.

Here is an update. I received my copy today of the letter with a note attached saying that they are forwarding this to the court. I have checked the courts website and still no change, the case is still active, I don't think they have told the court anything.

GO TO COURT. Take with you all the documents that you have and make sure that the judgement entered is the same as you agreed to. It is not uncommon for the CA to tell you something while doing something else and go for a default judgement.

I agree! DEFINITELY go to court. You need to make sure that the judgment that gets entered matches the agreement that you made!

Thanks so much, I will and give an update
