Riverside County Superior Court now has a special settlement program for debt collection lawsuits, under $25,000. The program is activated by the court, once the court receives the defendant’s answer. At that point, the court sets a date for the Mandatory Settlement Conference (MSC). Here’s a link to the MSC program information.

Bonus: unrepresented consumers (pro per) are invited to attend a free workshop to prepare for the MSC. No need to RSVP for the workshop, but they suggest attending at least a week before, so that you know what materials they suggest you bring on the day of the MSC.

Before you file anything in court, I suggest you review the short videos on my home page, because knowing your options is crucial, before you “just do something,” because it sounds good.
