If the arbitration was filed properly and you lost, the arbitration award will most likely be confirmed. Your best bet would be to contact your local legal aid or county bar and see if they have a program to help you have an attorney review the papers to make sure that it was filed properly. If it was, you may need to consider bankrupcty. A call to a bankruptcy attorney would be appropriate.
