Can you still settle a debt after a judgment?

A person signing an agreement

Yes. Even if a judge has already entered a judgment against you, you still have options. It is not too late to find a solution.

How can I settle after a judgment?

You can try to settle with the debt collector. You may be able to:

  • Make one lump-sum payment, or
  • Set up a monthly payment plan.

You can also ask the judge to approve a payment plan that fits your budget.

💡 If you reach a deal, get it in writing before you pay anything.
