    Default Collection and Judgment for Medical Debt

    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.

    You may have to go to the court hearing in Nov. & if they get a judgment against you, see if they are willing to set up a payment plan at that time.

    Do you currently have anything in writing that they are willing to accept a payment plan?

    Thank you for the reply. They have sent me papers for a stipulated judgment. The court date on the 26th is not one where I actually get to go i'm told. It's only for the court clerk to file paperwork. Any help or thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
