Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Rhode Island

Absent extraordinary circumstances, you will not be put in jail because of an inability to pay. If you have no assets or income other than SSDI (which is exempt from attachment), then there is not a whole lot the creditor can do.

For your information, LawyersCollaborative offers as a community service low cost telephone consultations, limited engagements, and low-bono and pro-bono services in appropriate cases, depending on income and ability to pay (and if the facts above are true, then the Collaborative would help you for no fee).

Best wishes,
