Re: Small Claims
Your state may allow you to make an agreement to pay.
Ask the court clerk if there is a petition to make installment payments. The only thing is, with this sort of deal, if you miss a payment, you may find that the person you owe has the immediate right to garnish your bank account. You might also find that your bank account is garnished immediately, so don't wait.
If the creditor agrees (such as through mediation) to let you pay over time, that would work for the court. But, get it in writing and signed before you act on it.
