Re: civil hearing

You should show up at the Hearing and explain to the Judge that you have made arrangements with the plaintiff to pay and show proof that you have been paying as agreed. They want to obtain the judgment so that they can enforce the agreement without having to sue on the agreement. If it is a short period of time some Judges will just continue the Hearing until it's paid but others will enter the Judgment if there is sufficient evidence.
