Unfortunately, in large part YOU took advantage of you as being poor or on section 8 does not confer special consideration or privileges when you play lawyer in court. The most common problm with pro-se litigants is the get paper judgments or settlments and never collect the money after all the expense and effort. That stated, you will likely need spend some money to HIRE a lawyer to review what you agree to as settlement and go from there. In the future waiting 2 years to address such an issue makes an emergency on your part now but not for anyone else.
