  In an action whose subject matter is a claim for the payment of money, if the defendant does not deny the facts alleged by the plaintiff in oral arguments or does not advance any allegations or evidence, and the court finds it to be appropriate in consideration of the defendant's financial resources and any other circumstances, after hearing the opinion of the plaintiff, the court may issue a ruling ordering the defendant to pay the money under that claim, and establishing rules on a time frame or an installment plan, not exceeding five years from the expiration of the time frame stated in paragraph (3), for paying the money under that claim, and may simultaneously establish that the defendant will be exempted from the obligation to pay any default charges that have accrued after the filing of the action if the defendant pays the money under that claim in accordance with the rules on the time frame or if the defendant pays that money without losing the benefit of time gained from the rules on the installment plan, pursuant to the rules under the following paragraph.
