Re: civil suit--credit card company
You can either negotiate with them or fight the lawsuit. If you negotiate, make sure you have an agreement that they won't move for a default judgment.
We have successfully defended people on these types of suits - it depends on the facts, who is suing you, when you last paid, etc. You can read some general advice on our blog at http://www.alabamaconsumerlawblog.com/2007/05/alabama_consumers_sued_by_debt.html or our website at http://www.alabamaconsumer.com/PracticeAreas/Ive-Been-Sued-What-Should.asp
