it is very unlikely they will withdraw the suit if they have already filed it. More likely they will agree to a stipulated judgment in an agreed upon amount.

I don't have 100% of the cash to pay the debts balance, I called them today and offered them half, and then pay the rest off within 3 months, they said they would get back to me and let me know if that can bee approved, so if I do that and im still served then why go to court, my credit has been trashed due to medical bills already. and if I don't do anything they get a default judgment and im still going to offer them the same deal.
no arrest. This is a civil matter so no jail, no arrest, nothing like that.
now, there are some situations in some states that have gotten people arrested for issues surrounding a civil case such as this. If there is a judgement entered, the creditor may institute a process where interrogatories are sent to the debtor as well as a few other reasons the debtor would be called into court. In refusing to act in those situations, people have been charged with contempt of court and some even went to jail for it. Most states I heard of that were doing that were taking action to change their laws to stop the creditor from using the system like that but I don't know all the states that were acting in such a manner. Yours might be one. So, if you are summoned to court for a debtors exam or are sent interrogatories, I would strongly suggest not ignoring those actions as that might get you tossed into jail for contempt of court if you do ignore them.
