What do I do about a court summons for credit card debt?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Theodore L. Araujo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Theodore Lyons Araujo
The first thing you need to do if and when you get sued is file an Answer. The summons will tell you that you must "appear" by way of an Answer in 10, 20 or 30 days, "depending on the method of service." PLEASE CHECK THE LAW IN YOUR STATE AS YOU MAY ACTUALLY HAVE TO APPEAR IN COURT, AS IN VIRGINIA, IN ORDER TO AVOID A DEFAULT! You need a lawyer, but if you cannot afford one right away, rather than do nothing and have a judgment entered against you, is to "appear" by filing something! Many people think this means they have to go to Court and this is incorrect. 90% of all lawsuits end in Default Judgments because the defendant (person getting sued) did not file an Answer. I recommend you go to the free form I have on my website. Print it out and fill it out as instructed. You must answer the numbered paragraphs on the Complaint by writing them into the appropriate lines in the Answer. The Answer will allow you to preserve your rights and will prohibit a default judgment (i.e. you did not show up) from being entered against you. Mimic the paperwork you got when you got sued. Answer all the paragraphs of the Complaint by writing the numbers in lines 1, 2 or 3. Almost 100% of attorneys will deny what is owed because they did not do the calculations and do not know what the basis for the number is... When you file the Answer that is your "not guilty". You have the right to make the person suing you (Plaintiff) prove their case, but you must also answer the complaint truthfully. Make sure you fill in the name and address of the attorney suing you before you bring this paperwork to the Court. Mail it to the attorney suing you right away! Good Luck!

What can I do if I can't afford chapter 13 payment and my attorney won't help?

Charles J Schneider
Answered by attorney Charles J Schneider (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Charles J. Schneider, P.C.
Sometimes an amount has to be paid in a chapter 13 case whether one can afford it or not to reach a goal that the client wants. Sometimes attorneys who receive a flat rate and do not charge by the hour will not respond to client phone calls as they do not make any more money for doing so. Sometimes attorneys do not wish to take over another attorney's case because the attorney that they replace may have messed the case up badly and there will be disgruntled clients that have lost their faith in attorneys in general and therefore will be difficult.

What can I do to avoid garnishment?

Diane L Drain
Answered by attorney Diane L Drain (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of D. L. Drain, P.A.
You need to take the course and pay to reopen your bankruptcy case. Hopefully it is not too late. Otherwise you may need to file another bankruptcy, but that has its own problems.
