The worst a creditor can do is file your bankruptcy and in the day it saves your fees.
Best of luck

Also if you are being honest about your income with them the court will only tell you to pay what you can afford anyway. and they know this. The threat of court is a much bigger deterrent for most people to try and pay their debts, but sometimes people feel forced into paying what they cannot afford. Reduce your payments according to your income and tell them why when they ask, court action would be unlikely whilst you are attempting to pay them and not denying liability
