Civil summons
Date: Sun, 10/15/2006 - 18:39
In 2003 I defaulted on a credit card due to personal financial difficulties. Although I was enrolled in a debt settlement program,the monthly fees were equal to my "payment". I just wasn't able to continue to pay money to a nonpofit group,thus getting myself deeper in debt.
I paid off several cards on my own but was unable to totally pay off one. Each time they called at my work they demanded a check by phone and like a fool,I did so. They told me they would have my job,get my car, and that I would never be able to borrow money again. I belived them and simply kept paying each time they called. I finally refused to pay any further. I ultimately lost my job. While I was told it wasn't related to my phone calls at work I felt that it had something to do with it.
This weekend I received a civil summons from district court me vs. a collection attorney. Please,someone tell me what this means other than I am being sued. The sheriff wouldn't say anything and frankly,I am terrified.I have no unpaid cards,so this has to be from this one. The previous balance was $400 and now it is over
$2,500. I don't know what to do or who to turn to. I am terrified that I will loose my job. After 3 years I have been able to obtain another job even though it is a part time. I know this sounds stupid but I don't know what to do. I am embarassed and ashamed that I have gotten myself into this mess. Please someone help.
