need advice!! am being sued by credit card company

Submitted by musicfan25 on Fri, 08/06/2010 - 06:31

I just got a citation to go to court and pay a debt I owe. I didnt know what to do so I called the court and they told me it was a credit card company suing me and now I have to write a letter to the court about the debt i owe. What am I supposed to write besides what I owe? . If I owe the debt what do I do? Do I have to go to court? I got a call from their lawyer. Should I try to settle with the lawyer or what? What options do i have? 7000 is too much for me to pay. I dont have a job now. I Need some advice. is there any way theyd let me pay less than what i owed if its from the credit card company and not a collection agency?

Thanks for any help.

Hi musicfan,

Citation from court asks you to appear in court on a stipulated time and debt. If the person asked to appear fails to appear as asked by the court, he can even get punished. Thu, you can talk to the court clerk about this. Moreover, you were asked to file an answer to this. Thus, you should do that.

What am I supposed to write besides what I owe?

The court clerk will know this better. You can request the court clerk to help you in answering to the summons. You can also take help from an attorney.

Should I try to settle with the lawyer or what? What options do i have?

You can first talk to the creditor. If he asks you you discuss this with the lawyer, you may have to try settling the debt with the lawyer. However, you should get the settlement in writing, and you should also request the creditor to stop the lawsuit on payment of the debt.

Thanks,

Aaron

ok Thank You. I will see what I can do. Do you know if the court date would be within a week or two after receiving the letter ? Or is it a later date?

Hi musicfan,

Sorry for the late reply.

Do you know if the court date would be within a week or two after receiving the letter ? Or is it a later date?

I am not sure about this. Does not the summons mention anything about the court date? It generally does. If there's no mention of the court date in the summons, you can talk to the court clerk about the date.

Thanks,

Aaron

I called the credit card company but they arent handling the account anymore. So it must be a collections agency suing me. the court clerk said it was a credit card company. I'm confused. Their asking for the same amount of money as the credit card company. Do I contact their lawyer now? What should I do differently?

Hi musicfan,

As you are not sure about this debt you can visit the court and request the court clerk there to provide you with the paperwork in regards to the debt.

However, you should file the answer to the summons within the stipulated time.

Thanks,

Aaron

Hi all! I hold Hack West Credit Repair in a very high esteem perhaps this post. I had a lot of debts previously. Credit card, loans, and a whole lot of other debt. Debt collectors have been embarrassing me with several phone calls and text. I’m so stressed out that my depression and anxiety multiplied tenfold. Today makes it exactly a year ever since I came in contact with HACKWEST who cleared my debts, removed all derogatory items from my profile including the hard inquiries and increased my score to 786 in less than 30 days. I vowed to always do this every Christmas celebration in appreciation for what they did for me. I must confess these guys are good. I’m sure so many other persons are in this situation or even worse, you can contact them via email: Hackwest@writeme.com or text: (424) 307 2638 and please don’t forget to mention my name to them. Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.

Having good credit is not something they teach you in high school or college. I had horrible credit and was burned a couple of times by hackers who provide "clean up credit" services. Working with Hack West Credit Repair was an entirely different experience. Hack West was honest. They did exactly what they said they would, within a short while, was always available and awesome. These things made all the difference. Thanks so much for helping to repair my credit; I now have a score of 760 with all hard inquiries removed. Reach them on HACKWEST at WRITEME dot COM or +1 (424) 307 2638.

Happy New Year my name is Alexis from Texas I live in NY. I’m a divorced mom of 2 kids with a substantial income. We were going to lose our home because I didn’t have the credit score to purchase it. I had already worked with a hacker that almost wrecked my account with zero result. He also introduced one of his friends who tried to help but couldn’t because of the new security on the credit bureaus, they were unsuccessful but if I paid $1500 more, they would send me a cloned Credit Card and it is nothing but another big mess. I continued making more research on whom to help me with my credit until I read some reviews from people talking about Ghost Virus and how he help people who have alarming poor credit. I texted on +1 (205) 418 0498) and emailed Ghostvirus7890@gmail.com asking if everything I heard and read were legit that I am interested in his service ASAP. I got a responds and further explained the process. We moved on and Ghost actually did all he said he would do within 8 business days and now I’m happy sitting on an average high credit score of 790 across the 3 major credit bureaus with no negative items on it. You can connect with Ghost for a Credit Repair assistant.

Sometimes, you can read something online that will help improve your life; I missed paying back my loans, my cards were maxed out and I was late on the rent, all these did serious harm to my credit profile, my FICO dropped to as low as 426. I was at an all-time low as I needed to secure a loan in order to offset my wife’s medical bills. Until, last month when I came across a review on Trulia about XAP CREDIT SOLUTION a credit reform company. I decided to give them a try. 2 weeks after we reached an agreement and I met the requirements which obviously wasn’t much, my profile was repaired totally. Now my score is at 780. All thanks to XAP. Reach them via XAPCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM or text (972) 597 9704. I kid you not. You’ll be glad you did.

I just got out of huge debt which came as a result of loans, evictions and delayed payment. I’ve never felt such a great relief for over a decade. I was so lucky to have met a friend that told me about DEBOOTH CREDIT SOLUTION and how they helped him get out of debt. He asked me to read their reviews on trulia and credit magic. I finally consulted them for my credit repair and they delivered. My fico score was 622 before I contacted them and it was increased by 100 points after the first week bringing it to 722 and was later increased by 76 points making it 798. I’ve never experienced such a thing in my entire life. I’m still surprised at the speed and time the job was concluded. They told me that my credit will be fixed within 14 working days and it happened and I’m doing excellently well now. Contact them ASAP and get your credits fixed and I bet you, you’ll testify after two weeks. Here is there contact; DEBOOTHCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM OR text +1(562) 281-7621
