When you use a credit card, you’re making a promise to repay the borrowed amount according to the terms set by the credit card company. However, when unforeseen circumstances arise and you’re unable to pay, your account may fall into default. In Massachusetts, creditors and debt collectors can take aggressive steps to collect what is owed, which may include filing a lawsuit. Continue reading to learn how Attorney Logan Weinkauf can help you with your debt.

What You Need to Know About Debt Collection Lawsuits in Massachusetts

Debt collectors in Massachusetts use various methods to pressure borrowers into repayment. These include persistent phone calls, letters, and legal action. A creditor will typically file a lawsuit for breach of contract when a borrower defaults on credit card debt. Once a complaint is filed, the borrower is served with a summons and has limited time to respond. Failing to respond in time can result in a default judgment, giving the creditor the legal right to pursue collection efforts.

Once a creditor obtains a judgment, they can take actions that can significantly impact your financial life. These actions may include:

  • Garnishing wages: Taking a portion of your paycheck to satisfy the debt.
  • Placing liens: Encumbering your home, car, or bank account.
  • Court appearances: If you fail to show up for a required court appearance, you could face arrest for contempt of court.

It’s important to act quickly if you’ve been sued for credit card debt in Massachusetts, as missing deadlines can lead to more severe financial consequences.

Your Options for Credit Card Debt Relief in Massachusetts

If you’re facing a credit card lawsuit or struggling with overwhelming debt in Massachusetts, legal options are available to protect you from aggressive creditors.

  • Bankruptcy: Filing for bankruptcy can stop wage garnishment, prevent lawsuits, and discharge certain debts. Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy both offer protection from creditor actions and provide a path to financial recovery. In many cases, liens can be removed from exempt property, and creditors are forced to dismiss lawsuits. 
  • Debt Settlement: Another alternative is negotiating with creditors. Attorney Logan Weinkauf regularly negotiates debt settlements, often achieving lump sum settlements for less than the amount owed or establishing manageable payment plans that reduce interest and halt legal actions.
