How can a debt collector sue me?

You can check out our article on when a debt collector sues, which should give you an even better idea. Nevertheless, here are some of the speculations we have about when a creditor may sue: 

1. Do you have any equity in the assets that the banks can calculate on the premise of what is going on with your credit report?
2. Does your state grant levies, liens, or wage garnishment? Feel free to check the bottom section of this to see.
3. How many accounts are you past due on? Sometimes, there will be a higher chance of being sued if you have a large number of accounts in debt. 
4. Do you have any bank accounts with the creditors that you owe money to?
5. Generally, you will see creditors sue for amounts with a larger total, but there are times where they will sue for under $2,000 owed.

How do I know if I am being sued?

If you are being sued, there will be a court summons delivered straight to the door by hand. This is to make sure that there is no miscommunication on if you have received the summons or not. If you end up ignoring the summons, you may find yourself losing a lot more, as the plaintiff will most likely request a default judgment. 

I don’t want to be sued. What can I do for debt relief?

I don’t think this is my debt. Can I ask them to stop calling me from 202-836-9542?
