Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Virginia

civil warrant of debt

Last February, I was admitted into UVA Med. Ctr. via the ER. My health insurance has paid up 90%. In September, I received a letter from the UVA Judicial Committee stating to contact them to avoid damage to my credit or a judgement. I called and set up arrangements. They divide hospital bills between two agencies, physician bills to HSF and the hospital expenses to UVA. While setting up the arrangements I told her I would have to finish off the doctor portion and then continue payments until the hospital portion is also paid off. She said nothing. We just set the date. A few weeks after I started making payments to HSF as instructed, I recieved a warrant in debt in the mail from the Judicial Committee who I had just set up the arrangements with. The money amount told me it was for the hospital portion. They had never made any additional attempts to contact me, although I asked them to if there were any problems. The court date is Nov. 29th. About a week ago I found a copy of the warrant outside on the ground near some bushes. I had been available working right inside for that and the previous 14 days and there were no knocks at the door. Is this all proper and what can I do if I don't have all the money by the 29th?
