Atlanta, GA asked in Collections for Georgia

Q: If a firm files a judgement against me for compensation owed can I pay the client and deny the judgement/dismiss case?

Civil case filed against me. I would rather just pay the client instead of going to court or settling and paying legal fees.

A: You pay the law firm who is suing you on behalf of the client. What kind of debt is it? Who is the law firm? How much is sought? Would the creditor/law firm be amenable to settling the debt for something less than 100% of what is sought?
