You can try to settle the case any time, but each case is different. Unless you file bankruptcy, you cannot force a creditor to compromise a debt. Some creditors will settle debt before it goes to judgment in order to avoid the expense of attorney fees and other litigation costs. Others will get the judgment and try to collect before agreeing to settle. Others won't settle at all. It depends on how aggressive the creditor is and your ability to pay.

According to a judgment you had filed against you when you settle the debt you need to get an Order to Satisfy. What is this and where can you get it?

In simple terms it is a court order that states how the debt is to be paid. Usually the order must be from the court where the judgment was awarded. The clerk of the court which granted the original judgment will be able to inform the party involved of the necessary procedures to obtain the order.


If you have a judgment against you and cannot pay it all can you settle for less than what is owed?

The party involved can try to negotiate a settlement, but it's unlikely if a judgment has been awarded. Once a judgment is in place the creditor has several options for executing it for payment of funds owed. If the debtor is gainfully employed the creditor will probably enforce the judgment as a wage garnishment and collect the entire balance of the debt.
