    I wouldn't steer you in the wrong direction. One of my good friends is an attorney... I also have a great CPA. I've learned so much in how to work the system for your advantage.

    You have to remember... The CC company's have money to burn... and they usually hire superior law firms. The law firms want to make money... they aren't going to say no to the CC company... no matter how unjust it looks on paper. The CC company will pay about $1,000 (cheaper on a business deal) to that law firm to show up to the courts. The law firm will at cocky... and manipulate the situation further. You must remain calm... you do have rights. The law firm doesn't even care if they win or defeat you. It's money in their pocket from the CC company. It's easy $1,000 for them.

    Also, let's say you have a balance of $8,000.00 on a CC and you get these letter's from the CC company in the mail saying... "ACT NOW... we will reduce your balance to $4,000.00 save 50% on us!!!" We will honor this contract. Never agree to those terms. By law the CC company can write off the other $4,000.00 and present you with a tax form that claimed you SAVED MONEY ON THE NEGOTIATION. That's right... you'll pay taxes on the other $4,000.00 in which you thought you saved HALF (50%). The IRS will come after you on the other $4,000.00 in taxes... technically you will pay around $1,333.00 to them in return. Yes, you saved something... but then the IRS has you by the balls.

    If you believe you are in a financial situation... contact a bankruptcy attorney. It sounds worse than it really is. A Bankruptcy was designed to protect you from this. Usually a bankruptcy consultation is Free.

    With all the financial madness in the world today... I'm quite surprised this CC company is even bothering you? The only card that's pressuring more people is Discover Financial... they are the ones that are getting attorneys involved. Your other major cc company's are turning it over to debt collectors... and they are the ones who will pressure you later on. Best of luck to you.

    Can't you just call consumer credit counseling or file for bankruptcy? Never heard of anyone getting sued by a CC company... then again, I don't know anyone who can't pay their CC bills.

    I just dont understand how come you dont collect unemployment if you dont have a job. Or what you dont get a job that pays $8 or $9 an hour. It would be so easy to pay off. Im apparently missing something here as to why you dont collect unemployment

    so i should get a job to pay off a debt of 3,500 when they screwed me over several times, i don't think so. I already paid that much in interest the past few years.

    I should counter sue for harrassment

    TT, I think filing for Bankruptcy is the way to go. Or you could just say Fk'em and let the debt fall off after a few years. You may also consider asking for a continuance and hoping to get a day when they won't be able to make it.

    Either way good luck and these greedy CC companies.

    how have you lived this long with out a job? And you screwed yourself man everyone knows there is interest rates. Quit gambling, grow up, act your age, find a therapist, and make a responsible decision. Christ I work my fking ass off to live a sh*t fking life and we have people like you bitching

    Actually you shouldn't have ran up a tab that you knew you would never be able to pay off. The judge should make you work off the debt by picking up trash and cleaning parks. You are the kind of person that makes America look bad.

    there not getting a dime,, in fact, , phone calls at 10 and 6 am is over the line

    maybe i should wish death on my relatives and then i get a job to pay back?

    I originally owed 800, went over the limit by 2 cents, so they charged 49 dollar over limit fee, i was one day late on a payment due dec 25th, they got it dec 26th so they added another 49 and then changed my interest rate from 9.9 percent to 49.99 percent.

    That made it almost 2 grand right there. They won't get a dime from me, ever.

    In fact i might do it again if they send me another card. for some reason my credit rating is great

    Attorney will not travel that far for an appearance, they will send an appearance attorney that lives within 30 minutes from the courthouse. Dont stress over petty stuff, this is a small debt. Be prepared to sign a stipulated judgment whereby you will agree to make small monthly payments on your debt.
