    If your Civil Demand letter says $600.00 then thats what you pay

    Hafta and have pay, I assume means "have to".

    You should pay whatever the letter asks for and not what you have read elsewhere.
    No, you do not have to pay the $600 right now or the $275. You can choose to let it go to civil court, where it will likely double or triple when the attorneys fees are calculated.

    If you don't pay it they have you hung by the toenails and can press criminal charges.

    My advice - Pay whatever the letter requests and get a receipt/letter that the amount has been paid and they considered the issue resolved. Most collection agencies or LP organizations have such a form letter and will provide it, upon request, once the amount has been paid in full, or PIF.
