Re: judment on me by c card company
Your best bet if you can't afford a lawyer is to contact the company with an offer that you are able to pay, and see if they will accept it. They may be blowing smoke in threatening to obtain a judgement as you have no assets they can seize. If they sue you you may want to appear and defend the claim and force them to present evidence that the debt is owed by you. Wages can only be garnished in Pennsylvania for taxes, child support, alimony and unpaid rent.
