Today I was served a summons from Suttell & Hammer from an original debt from Citi card total amount $10k. Have not made any payment to Citi card for about 6 months as we are trying to get our other credit cards paid off. I am not sure what to do. Does anyone know if they will settle if I call them? Looks like from other posts they play hard ball. In my response do I ask for any info? I am so confused.


Hi!
Welcome to the forums!
As you have not made the payments on the card for several months, so a lawsuit has been filed against you. You have to answer the summons properly. Contact the Citi card and explain to them that you want to settle the debts directly with them. Politely request them to withdraw the case against you. If they refuse to settle the debts or withdraw the case against you, then you need to consult a lawyer. The lawyer can help you deal with case in the right way.

you do NOT need to consult an attorney. Hiring an attorney will cost at least a $1000 and it is likely they will still get their judgment.

Answer the summons. Look the rules for civil procedure for your state....it should be on the website of your county court.

Contact the attorneys office. It is not likely they will withdraw the suit....Citibank does not operate that way. They may drop it if you agree to settle within a short period of time. If that is not possible, and the suit goes thru, ask for a stipulated judgment which allows you to pay without them taking any action against you

Quote:

This is also known as a stipulated judgment - where the plaintiff and the defendant agreed on a payment plan - approved by a judge. As long as the debtor is repaying you as per the stipulations required on the judgment - our opinion is that nothing "should" be done to force the debtor to pay faster.
