time frame of being sued

if a CA tells you that they will sue.they have 30 days to file or it is an fdcpa violation.

this was my mistake - what i meant was for anyone out there that is being sued how long was it between the CA's calling and harrassing you to actually being taken to court. Does it take months , years? And If I may, once you are served can you still claim Bankruptcy or is it too late?
I'm sorry if I sound confused - being in debt is new to me and it highly sucks

Every creditor is different as can be every case. If they can see assets on your credit report or can find employment, they may be more likely to proceed quicker.

what kind of assets

collection agencies rarely sue! They want the easy money for the pennies on the dollar they paid for the debts. Attorneys will sue and it can only take a couple months! Like I said in another post, it is better to pay your own attorney than someone elses!

Do you mean collection agency attorneys? Or attorneys working for the OC?

thank you, that is what i was wondering if the CA's give up where does it go? Does it keep going from CA's to CA's until an attorney takes over? This is all so new to me and it seems there is a hundred questions one could ask. This site is so patient with everyone.

CAs will sell the debt if they feel they have a tough job collecting. If they know you are represented by counsel they will quickly disappear. Collection Lawyers will sue especially the ones collecting for credit card companies.
