NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. 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 nformation, 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.

You will need to appear at the Pre Trial Hearing and try to make arrangements to pay if you want to settle the case. Alternatively, if you deny the debt, then you can try to prove that you do not owe the money and take the case to trail. Often times, the creditors do not have all the necessary paperwork to fully prove their cases.
