Credit card debts

I had a difficult financial situation last year, so I stopped paying on credit cards to the bank. As a result, I started receiving calls from the bank's collectors. To avoid their pressure I ignored that calls and eventually I changed my number.

Now, after one year, my situation became more stable, I've got a new job and I am ready to pay the debts. But I would like to know: if the bank has already filed the case against me, would it work if I'll try to settle my debt after one year or I should still go to prison for the delay?
