We're sorry to hear about the problems you've had since your discharge from the military.

The fact that you are disabled veteran and out of work doesn't prevent a creditor from suing you, but it may mean there is nothing they can really do to collect even if they get a judgment against you.

In addition, if these debts are outside of the statute of limitations, you may be able to raise that as a defense if you are sued.

It may make sense at this point for you to at least talk with a bankruptcy attorney to find out whether you need to consider filing to put these bills behind you.

We wish you the best and hope you are able to find a resolution to your problems.
