You will receive a letter from the attorney that will probably give you some options. Such as negotiating or reaffirming your payment. Or perhaps a setoff amount for a lump sum. Seldom is the first contact from an attorney a notice they are going to sue. Do not ignore anything from a valid attorney, nor answer it without legal counsel. They can however, simply serve you with a summons that you are being sued.
