I have an IRS lien on all my property, I am making payments but it will be years before it is paid off. I have 5 cc's that I have been unable to keep up on, last payments were made about a year ago. I just received my first summons, the amount of this cc debt is $7000. I don't know how to respond or what to say. Anyone know or have any experience with this? Do I call the lawyers office that filed and tell them about the IRS lien and that I want to settle with them now instead of them having to wait 5 years to collect.
