Is it possible to skip court mediation by mailing a check for credit card debt incurred?

if you can settle the matter before the mediation date, then you can cancell the mediation.



Have your attorney contact the other side and negotiate a settlement; I am sure they would rather settle now than pay for mediation and their own legal costs, and possibly lose...

If you%26#039;re already in a litigation setting, I wouldn%26#039;t recommend just mailing payment. That%26#039;s no guarantee that they%26#039;ll consider your debt satisfied, because many credit card companies have clauses wherein they tack on court costs to your debt if they are forced to sue you.



I would suggest contacting the attorney or credit card representative who is handling the court matter and negotiating an amount for which they would dismiss the pending claim. If you don%26#039;t obtain an agreement for them to dismiss the matter in exchange for the consideration you%26#039;ve agreed to pay, then the matter might not be considered satisfied.

No. If you already have a court date, you must attend. I suggest that you contact the party suing you and offer payment.
