No. We do not have debtor prisons. If a collector has threatened that you can go to jail, then the collector has violated the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and you are entitled to damages and have all of your attorney's fees paid. My practice is limited to defending consumers sued to collect debts and bringing claims against debt collectors who violate the Act. I am located in Maplewood. I do not charge consultation fees.
