You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

Whether it is a lost cause or not, you should appear. This is your only opportunity to try and work things out with the creditor. Oftentimes, the court will get you more favorable payment terms then you could ever arrange on your own if you simply go to court and tell the judge you want to pay the monies but cannot afford what the Plaintiff is demanding. The judge may step in and help get this resolved.
