Im going to court over a debt that I have

By all means, show up for the court date. You will not have a lot of room for negotiation at this date, but the court will look at the issues and make a decision. It's quite possible the court might work out some sort of payment arrangement on your behalf. But don't be late or miss the court date. That will only hurt you.

You have not mentioned anything about the case.

Take all papers to prove your income and expenses and other information about the debt. You need to show your defense in front of the judge. If there is a chance, he will rule in your favor.
