Hello b:
You have no options, unless you want to become judgment proof. You do that by not having a paycheck, assets or bank accounts.
Of course, you COULD make an offer, but it's a little late for that now.

yes once a judgement is made and you are court ordered to pay the amount set out by the judge... sorry, you have no option but to pay it... even if you state you have no funds to pay it the plantif can go after your assets... like your personal assets, furniture and house, etc... they can go in and with an officer they decide what can be sold for how much and the plantif is entitled to that piece of furniture... IS... large flat screen... valued at $1,000 and you owe $1500.. they can get your TV plsu sother things... I suggest you pay before they go back to court and get the interest on top of that judgement... and yes they can do that!
