Re: civil suit

You must defend the suit. I suggest you consult with an attorney. Have all the documentation regarding the settlement with you. If the debtor agreed to release you from the debt under the terms you describe there has been an "accord and satisfaction". In that event you are not responsible for the debt. However, you must defend any legal action or your rights will be jeapodized. You must plead the release as a defense. Gerald Hershenson Esq.
