Have you been sued by a credit card company?

If you have outstanding credit card debt in Florida you may be served with a Summons and a Notice to Appear in court on the debt. If you are served with these documents and if you fail to appear to defend yourself then a judgment will be entered against you for the amount claimed in the suit.

Why is it important to avoid a judgment since you owe the money anyway? Because at the point a judgment is entered against you the credit card company can garnish your wages, attach to assets and property you own, and can even place liens on your property!

My law firm represents anyone who is being sued in court on a debt. Sometimes, but not always, we end up wiping out the debt via bankruptcy.

IMPORTANT: If you're being sued on a debt that is more than five years old then the statute of limitations on the debt may have been exhausted. This statute is a consumer protection statute but it can be defeated if you decide to make a partial payment or if you agree in writing that the debt belongs to you. Don't do that!
