No. You are responsible to pay the amount of the judgment, plus interest which has accrued since then, together with all costs incurred by the creditor. Most creditors will negotiate if approached properly depending on the circumstances the debt was incurred and how they size up the situation. You may wish to have an attorney negotiate on your behalf.
