Re: rentalcenter
They are suing you for money damages in a civil forum, so they cannot send you to jail. They can only get a judgment against you for the total and then try and collect it. If you really can't pay, they will normally work with you and work out a payment schedule.
If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.
