I am technically being sued by the state of Virginia represented by a taxing consulting company for owed personal property taxes. My court date is coming up tomorrow (I just received the notice they left on an apartment door that I haven't lived at in over a year) and I am looking for advice on how to handle the situation. I no longer live in Virginia so going to court is impossible (also not required, however judgement will be passed against me in my absence). I would like to pay it off but the amount has gone from $440 in taxes to $728 with added fees and interest. I plan on contacting the tax consulting office today but I need to know what my options are with them. If possible, I would like to settle for a lower amount and pay this off immediately but I have no experience in dealing with a company like this. Will they likely resolve to allow me to pay a lower amount and offer some sort of payment plan? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
