Re: Disputing Judgement
If you were not properly serve with the lawsuit and this resulted in a judgment against you, then you must file a motion to set aside the default as soon a possible. Until the judgment is set aside, you owe the money and the credit has broad discretion in how it enforces the judgment.
If you owe the money and just need to set up a repayment plan, then you can still negotiate a payment plan with the creditor or the creditor's attorney. If you simply cannot repay the debt, you can always consult a bankruptcy attorney for further advice.

Yes, if you were not served (something that happens a lot) then you may be able to get a court order setting aside the judgment. You may contact my office for a free consult.
