I really need some help. I have four collection agencies after me, Global/CapitalOne. Simm/ Merrick Bank. Portfolio Recovery/Providian-WaMu. And one for my husband NCO/CapitalOne. These accounts have all been charged off. I have not attempted to contact them because I have no money to pay them. I have been sick and have not worked in quite awhile. Portfolio has sent me a Pre-Legal Demand and if they do not hear from me by 12/20 they will place it with a local Attorney in my state to sue me. My husband is working his tail off to make enough to pay our other bills. I know if they sue me they can't garnish wages (not working) BUT can they take money out of our joint checking account even though it is not my money?? Also does anyone know the SOL for Oregon and is credit card debt the same as contract. Please advise.


Yes, they would even be able to garnish if the account were solely in your husband's name; you're married, everything's exposed in a litigation action.

I would attempt to contact these agencies ASAP to work something out, they key to actions headed to litigation is communicating with the other party. If you do not communicate, you're more likely to end up worse off.
