Being sued. What should I do?

by Rebekah
(Glen Burnie, MD)

I have had seven 3rd party debt collectors try to collect over $800 from me since 2007. Have a merit trial 11/11 and they are the only ones that have tried to sue me and collect. I am on full disability and am very limited money wise. I lost my house to foreclosure 1/09 and lived in a shelter/abused women for 6 months. I am living in a one bedroom apartment and all of my money goes to rent, utilities and past due medical and current medical bills. Have nothing of any value any more. What can I do????

 Being sued. What should I do?
by: Debtcollectionanswers.com.

I am surprised that the creditor is pursuing a lawsuit against you because from what you tell me, you have nothing that the creditor could take from you if it wins its lawsuit. In other words, it sounds like you are judgment proof. So the creditor will have spent time and effort suing you for naught. Of course, if your situation improves in the future, the creditor might be in a position to collect on the judgment at that point.

Given your situation, I strongly recommend that you consult with a bankruptcy attorney right away. You can use bankruptcy to get rid of unsecured debt, like your medical debt, and to stop lawsuits.
