    I really don't know. They may be just feeling you out or they may take a hard line. You just have to wait and see.

    Well, you have successfully stalled them so far and you will have your way up to and including the date they decide to refile their suit against you. Then what will you end up doing?

    The only reason I was able to come up with the money is due to an inheritance. I would love to have this settled now and do want to pay back the money at least what I did borrow. I just don't want to add on more legal fees while trying to come to an agreement when I know I am not able to pay monthly. I'd probably be able to come up with a little more but it won't be nearly as much as they counteroffered.

    Are there any ramifications if I were to contact the company directly instead of going through the lawyer since the case was dismissed? If I have to deal with the lawyer, is it a bad idea to provide some financial information so they can see for themselves that accepting the offer is the way to get their money back?

    Here's my problem from the other side of this - the company is represented by Attorney and should not be talking to you. Rule #1 - don't talk to the other side once you retain counsel.

    They are not going to see a review of your financials as the ONLY way to get their money back - and "only" may very well be the operative word here.

    The company has to pay an Attorney. They think it's your fault. They want you to pay them so they can hand the money to the Attorney.

    That's how they're thinking.
