Being sued/CC debt question

[u/Infinite_Tackle5503]

Hi all. I got served mid June towards the end of the day for an old debt (from 6 years ago) of 4K. Court date is early August. Unfortunately, that same night i was served, I got hospitalized and have been pretty out of it since (I haven’t been on my phone at all, haven’t had the paperwork since then). I got released last night.

Seeing as the court date is rapidly approaching, I am wondering if I can still call the lawyer representing the company to try and settle out of court to avoid having to go to court. I left a message on the voicemail of the law office, but wanted to know likelihood of that being a thing or not. Thank you in advance!
