No payments would show on your credit report. Odds are if collections is after you they are already there.
Cant say yes or no on lawyer. Personally I would always recomend one. Yet for this case with the amount being 7k I would hold off on retaining one until you hit arbitration and she denies it. Odds are if your worried about a 7k judgement then a lawyer's cost would be out of the question anyways.
They do not give court appointed lawyers in civil cases.
