Unfortunately, your disability may have no bearing on the obligation agreed to in the original note/contract. Some companies, such as a mortgage lender, do have special considerations for hardship including financial, medical, disability, etc. But this sounds like a small time/private lender. As for the debt itself, if you cant pay you cant pay. They have a right to collect and eventually sue, and may even get a judgment against you since there is likely no valid defense. But you have many protections under what are called "exemption rights" so you many of your assets will be protected, and they also cannot garnish your wages or arrest you. You may want to consult with an attorney to try and help negotiate it for you.
