I have about $4000 debt. 4 different cards combined. Some say charged off and purchased by another lender. If it is a debt collection company can they then sue you? Or does a lawsuit have to come from original debtor? Also, 2 of them, both around 1000 are using law offices for collection. But not threatening suit. I'm trying to save my home and cannot pay this debt. What should i do? Will this go away on its own since its a fairly small amount?


Hi!
Welcome to the forums!

Check your credit report and find out the status of these accounts. Check whether or not the accounts have really been charged off. If the accounts have been charged off, then they will remain on your credit report for 7 years. If the Sol period on the debts have not expired, then you can be sued for non-repayment of the debts. So, if the Sol period has not expired, then it will be better to settle the debt.

These folks are right, you should consider debt settlement as your number one priority. The longer you wait the higher the chance of getting eventually sued. Although, the amount of debt does not appear to be significant in order for collector to take legal route, nonetheless, I've witnessed some of my clients being sued for as little as 2k. My advice, pick the most favorable debt settlement firm, and proceed with the settlement option the sooner the better. Good luck
