I’ve Been Sued for Not Paying My Credit Card, What Can I do?

Video Script Below

You’ve been sued for not paying your credit card bill by the bank. What do you do? I’m Steve Kramer. I’m a Florida attorney and what we’re talking about is sometimes when you don’t pay that credit card bill and when you owe $5,000 or $10,000 to American Express or Discover or whatever credit card is out there. They will go ahead and sue you for the money. And the question is what do you do? And the most important thing that you have to do is answer the lawsuit. You’ve got to file some kind of response because if you don’t, you lose automatically. You lose the case and you’ll owe them money. And they’re not going to just let it go there, they’re not suing you because it makes them feel good. They’re suing you because they want money. And the way they’re going to get that money is by garnishing your wages or by garnishing your bank accounts or by trying to take your assets. And that can be a very inconvenient process and there’s defenses to that process but we don’t want to go there. The easiest thing to do is to get an attorney involved in the case and start defending it and there’s lot of options. One of those may be negotiating with the credit card company. A lot of times you can settle these debts for pennies on the dollar. Or maybe if you’re not in the position to negotiate because you’re having a real hard time financially, well that’s fine. Maybe we look at bankruptcy – that’s another option, that’s another way we can get you out of this debt and wipe the slate clean. Or maybe we defend the lawsuit because maybe the lawsuit against you is bogus or maybe they can’t prove their case. Maybe they don’t have good records of exactly what happened or maybe this is some collection company that’s bought the debt. Maybe it’s been sold five or six times. And you know what? I’ve seen a lot of those cases and in those cases they can’t prove that you owe them money. And if they can’t prove it, you win and that’s what we want. We want a good result and that’s what I’m here to do and that’s why I’m telling you about this because I’ve seen many, many credit card cases. I’ve handled numerous credit card cases. I’ve been able to get good results from my clients and I’d be glad to help you with a credit card case and walk you through the process and go over all the options. And there’s a whole lot more than what we talked about in this very short video. So thanks for watching, I’m Steve Kramer.

On August 7, 2020, I was fortunate TK Law Firm was suggested as the first option for Divorce and Family Law. I was blessed to be represented by Ms. Janelise Gastell and TK Law Firm Support Staff. Ms. Gastell has the qualities and standards of integrity, ethics and loyalty. Ms. Gastell's dedication and determination resulted in positive results. Ms. Gastell challenged me to put in the same amount of effort. The end result was the divorce being finalized on September 4, 2020. Four years later, the money spent was an outstanding investment. The financial investment was an integral part of moving forward in my life. This included my well being mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. If potential clients are searching for excellent Divorce and Family legal representation. My recommendation would be Attorney Janelise Gastell. Thank You.

My wife and I finally took the steps to start the estate planning process as we are not getting any younger and we didn't want to leave a mess for our daughter to have to clean up. We have witnessed this far too many times of the last few years, as relatives have passed away only to watch the circus play out afterward. TK Law provided a wonderful experience from start to finish. Everyone at the office that I had the pleasure of working with was extremely professional and got back to me in a timely manner with any questions that I had. My wife and I really appreciate all the hard work and are very thankful to get all our estate planning needs met. We now have the peace of mind that we have done all that we can to minimize any issues after we pass.

The divorce process is never easy, but everyone one at TK Law made it as easy as possible. Kayla Johnson, my paralegal was always available, helpful and understanding of the situation. Attorney Janelise Gastell was also extremely helpful. She made sure all decisions were made in my best interest. My divorce seemed to take much longer than the average due to the other side, but both Ms Johnson and Attorney Gastell kept things moving as quickly as possible.
