Ok, this may be rather complicated. I got a summons from Love, Beal and Nixon, attorneys for Midland Funding, LLC (CA). The original debt was from Household Bank for a credit card. I immediately called Love, Beal and Nixon and reached a payment arrangement. They sent me paperwork in the mail, called a Journal Entry of Judgment, in which I filled out all my monthly debts, all members of my household's income, and the fact that I was to pay $300 a month payments to them until the debt was paid off. It said not to date it, as the judge would later date it.
