Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Pennsylvania

civil suit credit card

I was served with a civil suit for credit card. The last payment I made was 9/07 and have not been able to make payments since then. I am not sure how to proceed. I am head of household, can they garnish my wages? I might be able to pay half the debt, should I call the attorney that is handling it and see what offers would be taken?

If your creditor has filed suit you really ought to have legal counsel. If you'd like to contact me I'd be happy to see if I can help.

Re: civil suit credit card

I agree with the previous answer. There are defenses in about 8 out of 10 of these credit card suits and it is important to file an answer to the Complaint. You should speak to an attorney about this.
