  • Do Credit Collection Agencies really sue in out of state courts?

    Posted by admin on January 27th, 2010 and filed under credit collection | 3 Comments »

    I have a 10K debt (now 17K) with fees that is owned by a debt collection company in Florida. The account is a joint account with my ex-wife and myself on the account. She lives in Tennessee and I live in Texas.

    The ex wife made the charges and I refuse to pay the debt.

    Yes, they will sue…. and if you were both on the debt, you too are responsible for paying it back.

    Settle with them…. offer them 5 grand to get them out of your life.

      yes they will, collection agencies have been around for quite a while & have the process down to a science. Joint accounts means joint bills, deal with it now, the longer you wait the higher the bill.

      They may sue you and lump on court costs, attorney fees, and even more interest if you can believe it. Why not retain a settlement company to get you (or your wife) out for 1/2 and be done with it? They will come after the party who has an ability to pay or be garnished, or who they can find.
