I have a credit card debt that’s with an attorney in Kansas City, MO. I was making payments but then missed May and June. Next thing I know they filed a petition for money judgement. They’re saying that I now owe an additional $200 for their court costs. What happens if I pay the original balance and that’s it?

Depending on various circumstances, you should probably expect to still owe them. They had filing fees for court. They may have had to have a lawyer throw some time at it. Both of which are non-recoverable for them even if you settle now.
