The collection agency is willing to accept payments, but have already set up a court hearing to get a judgement for medical debt. Can they make payment arrangements with me and still pursue the legal action and if so, what is my next step? Just went through the same thing; where I tried to go to court and no hearing was allowed yet within a week; there was a judgement against me and wage garnishment. My employer paid the garnishment in full for me over $6000 because it would've left me without enough $ to live on and now I'm in the same situation for past medical debt for over $15000. Not sure what my next step is and i have a hearing in Nov. any advice is greatly appreciated!! Forgot; I'm in Washington State and medical bills are starting from 2002 until current.
