What to Do When a Credit Card Company Sues You

When you don’t pay a creditor such as a creditor card company or a loan company, typically they will send the file to collections or sue you to recover the monies owed. When you are sued, if you do not respond to the court action, the company can take a judgment and then garnish your wages, levy and seize money in your bank account, attached a lien to your property or house and other collection efforts.

Bankruptcy or Debt Settlement to Stop Collections

Bankruptcy is very powerful. It can stop the lawsuit and any collection efforts and wipe the debt out or repay the debt over a certain period of time. Also, if bankruptcy is not right for you, we offer debt settlement. Often times, we can reduce the debt owed to a creditor and settlement the matter even if a lawsuit has been filed resulting in thousands of dollars being saved by our clients.

Our Queens credit card lawyers can also try to obtain a zero interest repayment plan with a reduce principal. That way you can settlement and not have to deal with the creditors suing you and harassing you.

What Are Your Rights Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA)?

The primary federal law that governs debt collection practices in America is the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). This law covers the collection of credit cards, mortgages, medical debts, and other household debts. It does not cover business debts.

Under the FDCPA, debt collection companies are prohibited from using unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices to collect debts from consumers. When a debt collection agency contacts you, they must provide you with certain information, including the name of the creditor, the amount owed, and your option to dispute the debt.

The FDCPA also includes several specific provisions, including:

• It protects against harassment over the phone or through any other form of contact
• It prohibits disclosure of debts to unauthorized parties
• It bans contact with consumers at unusual times and places
• It grants consumers the right to file a lawsuit against unlawful debt collectors
• It requires debt collectors to contact your attorney instead of you
