Unless the loan company dismisses the case (which they should do, if you have made payment arrangements with them) and provides evidence of that (e.g. something from the court), you should definitely show for the court date. If you don't and the other party represents to the court that there is no agreement, you could find a default being entered against you for the full amount.Also, whatever arrangments you've made for payment, make sure to get them in writing--while oral agreements are enforceable, they can be difficult to prove in the event of a dispute.
