Sued by Blitt & Gaines for a credit card debt

I appeared at the Madison County, IL court today to answer consent of judgment for a small claims amount of $5,832.95. I spoke to their attorney and she referred me to her legal assistant, who asked me questions about my employment, how much I can pay monthly, etc. I'm about to start a new job in the next couple weeks, 35-40 hrs a week, $10/hr. She directed me to contact the law firm by phone and attempt to negotiate a payment plan.
Does $200 initially and then $100 monthly sound reasonable? I have not yet contacted them, but I'm hoping that this will come to a resolution soon. The card was with Clout Financial Services, named as plaintiff.
If I contact these attorneys, what can I expect?
I consented to judgment because I agreed that, yes I do owe the $$$, and if possible would like to avoid courts and trials and the costs involved.
Any advice would be awesome.
-very, very concerned

Depends on what your other obligations are and what your expense
Depends on what your other obligations are and what your expenses are etc. Nobody can say what is reasonable for you.
