There is no legal requirement for a collection agency to allow you to submit a payment plan.  Most, however, will try to work with you.

I would contact the court to make sure that a case was actually filed against you. Some collection agencies and collection law firms, use documents that appear to be issued from the court when they are not.  I am not familiar with the civil process in Arkansas but it seems odd that a summons came to you by certified mail directly from the attorney's office (In those states that allow service by certified mail, the mailing is usually sent by the clerk).
