QUESTION
Can I just contact the company that is on my credit report and I assume created the summons, and make the payment?
Asked on Mar 24th, 2017 on Bankruptcy - Wisconsin
More details to this question:
I received a summons for a debt that I thought was included in my bankruptcy in 2012 but the debt was created after the bankruptcy. It was my mistake and I want to pay it.I also don't want to get stuck with any legal fees. Would there be a fee related to the summons? I'm on SSDI and can’t afford more than the debt.

If you're on SSDI, you probably have no assets the company can teach. SSDI is exempt from creditors. So what if they get a judgment.

You may be "judgment proof", since there may be no way to collect a judgment from someone who has no assets, and is living on SSI.

You should contact the attorneys office that issued the summons. Trying to settle by doing an end run around the creditors lawyer will not solve your problem.

If you are on is is GI then it is possible that you are judgment proof, and I and the creditor can't take away anything from you period You certainly can call the creditor or the creditors lawyer and tried to work it out period you might get a substantial discount if you try.
