This is a two edged sword now. On the one hand the collection agency has to start paying its attorney by the hour to keep on handling the litigation to completion so they might be willing to settle for a discounted amount to avoid that.

On the other hand, if it goes all the way to judgment and you lose you'll likely get hit with their lawyer fees (which could be thousands) since your credit card contract probably has the appropriate bilateral "loser pays lawyer fees" provision.
I received a letter from the suing law firm today. It is a "Stipulation and Order for Dismissal Without Prejudice" letter. It says I must sign it and mail it back to the attorney. Does this mean they are dropping the lawsuit?
