Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida

In 2003 Someone I was dating was driving my car while I was at work and they hit a rental car insured by state farm. There was a hearing that I went to in I believe 2005 and there were payment arrangements set up of $50 or $75 as for the party that was driving my car we had seperated so I don't know what his arrangement was and he didn't show up at the hearing. I ended up losing my job not long after that so I wasn't able to continue making payments towards what was owed even though I felt I shouln't being that I wasn't the one in tha accident. I know found out that state farm wants to sue me for the money owed as well as they have suspended my license and I would be required to pay $595.00 just to get my license back and get the SR-22 as well as I would have to set up and make payment arrangements monthly or they will suspend my license again

It sounds like you agreed to make the payments as part of a settlement.
