i was sued by capitol one and didn't get a lawyer because i couldn't afford one and they sued me for almost five thousand dollars and they are taking it out of my check every week. So what happens when i quit my job

I think they would find another way to get money...like if you own a home they might try to put a lien on that...or do you get disabillity checks or any other payments.

I'm not sure if they can adjust the amount & take it from unemployment if you qualify.

I have 3 cards out to them, how much did you owe them? I am worried they might sue me, but my cards were not big balances.

Hi marydairy, if the outstandings on the cards are not big, why don't you try to negotiate with them for a settlement. It'll have a more decent impact on your report, than letting them garnish your wage.

Please, don't wait for them to sue you rather voluenteer to pay-off the debts. This way you can save yourself from loads of hassels.

If you quit, not only does the judgement not get paid, but you also loose the rest of your income. When I was collecting, a lot of people threatened to quit their jobs. With student loans we got 15% of their disposable pay....but quitting means they would be giving up the other 85%!! Doesnt make a lot of sense!
