getting sued by Wells fargo

Submitted by Bob54321 on Thu, 07/01/2010 - 07:06

I had a credit card with Wells Fargo. The debt is just over $2500. I had a sever illness in the family last year which resulted in a death. While going through this I couldnt afford to continue payments on the credit card. They attempted to contact me over a couple of months but due to stress in my life at the time i decided to ignore the calls. I assumed they would just turn it over to a collection agency and I would just take care of it in a year or two. (stupid line of reasoning I know and completely my fault).

Anyway, after a few months goes by I get a letter from a law firm in florida stating that they were going to file a lawsuit against me. I called and told them that I would begin to make payments in the amount of $200 a month toward the debt. They agreed but said they had to file against me anyway and that Id be getting papers to sign and send back to them along with the first payment. Well some time passed and I didnt get the papers. I called and asked where the papers were and they said theyd be sending them again. So i waited a few more weeks to no avail. So I called again. The person I had been speaking to wasnt in so I left a message.

A few more weeks goes by and I still didnt hear back from them or receive anything in the mail. Today I had a visit from a process server from orange county florida with a summons to go to court for a pretrial hearing in regards to this debt.

What exactly is happening to me and does anyone have any advice, suggestions, concerns or comments. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Bob,

Welcome to this community :)

You need to answer to the summons, else Wells Fargo can win a default judgment against you. However, you can try to reach an out of court settlement with Wells Fargo. This time you send them a settlement letter through certified mail, requesting a return receipt.

Thanks,

I tried calling wells fargo once and they referred me to this law firm. are you saying i should try to send them a settlement letter even though they turned the whole account over to this firm? if so, what should i put in the settlement letter?

Court is on the 14th of this month. should i just go there and say i wish to pay it back at $200 a month?

...and thanks for the quick reply and the welcome.

Hi Bob,

You are welcome. You first check out your credit report. If the law firm is listed their as a collection agency then you need to settle with the law firm.

However, you will have to first answer to the summons. Serve a copy to the law firm, and send another to the court within the stipulated date.

Thanks,

Aaron

Hi Bob,

I would recommend to appear in court or the creditor will receive a default judgement in their favor if you do not appear in court. A judgement will adversely affect your credit rating for seven years. I would also recommend to bring all medical documentation regarding the family member that had the severe illness which resulted in a death to your courtdate to explain what occured in your situation.

Getting your budget done by a financial counselor prior to your court date, may assist you in court. Please feel free to contact me for a consultation if you are interested.

Best of Luck,

Call them and offer to settle. You should be able to settle for around 20% of the debt (which is two payments in you case). Answer the summons to buy time. If you don't feel up to this...and all it is is a phone call or certified letter...then get a debt company to work for you. Just google "settlement". There are tons of them out there.

To blow this off is a big mistake. But still, they won't come after you, too much work for a 3K bill. Offer them 10% and let them bump you up to 20%. It won't be more than that.

You need to contact the law office and try to set up an agreement with the law firm if possible. You can also try to reach a settlement with the law firm. If you fail to respond to the lawsuit then they will be able to obtain a default judgment against you. Once they obtain a default judgment they they have several options in terms of collecting the debt. What they have available to collect the debt will depend on your state's laws.

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.
