Justice Manual § 4-11.300
Installment Payment Plans
An installment payment plan shall be established only when the debtor is unable to make payment in full, or to obtain suitable financing from a private institution in order to make payment in full. Establishment of an installment payment plan shall not be considered unless and until a Financial Statement has been fully completed and signed by the debtor. Under no circumstances shall an installment payment plan be agreed to, or the terms and conditions of any payment plan be discussed with the debtor prior, to receiving a Financial Statement. All financial information provided must first be reviewed by Financial Litigation/Asset Recovery Unit personnel to determine whether a payment plan would be appropriate and, if so, to ensure that the maximum monthly payment amount is obtained and the judgment is liquidated at the earliest possible date.
