If they insist on going to court,show up with a monthly break down of income vs expenses. Even with a judgment they will only get a percent of what you make. If you are able to communicate with their lawyer,insist on a motion to dismiss in exchange for payment arrangements.

Wait a minute, did you call the court to make sure this is a legal summons? Usually collectors for the company who is suing you will not talk to you and you can only talk to their lawyer.

Even if you work something out with the 'other side', and you STILL have to go to court, by all means you need to show up. Do you have a good lawyer that is helping you out? Are you handling this on your own?

No, I don't have a lawyer. I am hoping if I pay them monthly, I won't have to go. If they told me a judgement wont be enforced, does that mean I won't have to go?

Can someone tell me what my next step should be? I made an agree
Can someone tell me what my next step should be? I made an agreement with the law firm handling this case. I was told I would receive my agreement in a few days and I can mail in my payment with the agreement. I have to answer my summons and I won't have the agreement with me yet. Is there anything to alert the court that I have made an agreement even though I do not have the papers yet? They told me a judgement won't be enforced. Please help
