People who have the means have an attorney negotiate with the creditor who will often settle for a lesser amount. You might try contacting the legal department of the creditor (perhaps the person whose name is on the court papers for the credit card company). You could try to make an offer to send a cash payment and see if they will take a lesser amount if you agree to pay it off. Tell them you are on a pension and otherwise it will take you a very long tie to pay it off. It's up to the creditor. No one else can change the amount of the judgment.
