FAQ
If they sue and get a judgment against you, it is possible they can take cars and belongings to satisfy the judgment, but there is a legal process for that. The important thing here is to not ignore the issue. If you don't respond, the creditor may get a default judgment that they can attempt to collect.
You have two tools you can use to dispute a debt: first, a debt validation letter the debt collector is required to send you, outlining the debt and your rights around disputing it; then, a debt verification letter. You can submit a written request to get more information and temporarily halt collection efforts.
Debt collectors cannot repossess your possessions if the debt is unsecured, such as a credit card or student loan. In the case of secured debt, however, particularly auto loans, for which the car is collateral, failure to make payments can result in repossession of the vehicle.
You should dispute a debt if you believe you don't owe it or the information and amount is incorrect. While you can submit your dispute at any time, sending it in writing within 30 days of receiving a validation notice, which can be your initial communication with the debt collector.
The only thing you should ever say to debt collectors is ``what is your address''. Get it and then hang up. Write them a letter saying that any form of contact other than mail is inconvenient for you. Also state that you have no knowledge of the debt, and ask them to verify it with the original creditor.
RIGHT TO DISPUTE THE DEBT: Within 30 DAYS of receiving notice of the debt from the debt collector, you can send a letter to the debt collector disputing the debt and requesting the name and contact information of the original creditor.
Specifically, the rule states that a debt collector cannot: Make more than seven calls within a seven-day period to a consumer regarding a specific debt. Call a consumer within seven days after having a telephone conversation about that debt.
Unpaid credit cards fall into the “civil debt” category and are not punishable by jail time. However, criminal offenses related to financial affairs, like tax evasion, could land you in jail. It's important to know that ignoring judgments against you could result in serious legal consequences, including jail time.
The short answer is yes, they can take you to court, but it is not always the first step, and it does not happen in every situation. If you are dealing with debt collectors and feeling stressed, do not panic. There are steps you can take to avoid legal action and get back on track.
