Your Options To Avoid A Texas Credit Card Lawsuit

By Ruby Prince


As people still struggle to find ways to improve their income during the present economic situation, credit card payment defaults are at an all time high also. When millions of people lost their jobs, it also became impossible for many of them to meet their debt obligations. If you live in Texas, and you are in this situation, you may be one of thousands of people who are trying to find a way out of a Texas credit card lawsuit.

When you default from a loan payment, chances are your original debtor will exhaust all ways to collect from you. When despite their efforts, you still can not pay your obligation, your original lender is most likely to sell your debts to a junk debt buyer for a steep discount, sometimes merely a penny of every dollar you owe. If these debt buyers could collect, they are in for a great profit, considering the minimal amount that they paid the original lender.

Thus, if your debt was already paid for by a debt buyer, your obligation has been transferred. What happens, sometimes is the new lender does not get your loan documents that they need to collect from you. When this happens, it is actually to the advantage of the borrower, because if cases are filed with no adequate document support, it is sure to fail. However, in such cases, it is still a good idea to show up in court when summoned, otherwise, the court may simply give a summary judgment in favor of your creditor.

Your new lender may also be inconsiderate and may actually make things more difficult for you. You may face harassment and constant phone calls and even threats to make you pay. If this happens, you know it's time to consult a lawyer who are familiar with state laws and who could help you win your case.

Thus, it becomes necessary to hire a competent lawyer who can defend your case. Harassment could cause so much stress, especially if you get calls at ungodly hours from people asking you to pay up. Some creditors would harass even your relatives and could even embarrass you at your place of work. To avoid these nasty situations, you have to find a lawyer to defend you.

The first thing to do is to dispute the claims of the plaintiff so that you could buy some time while you are trying to consider your options. A disputed case could take so much time, which is why many lenders do not even pursue once a case is disputed. Find a good lawyer who knows what options you have and who could rightfully advise you on what you should do.

There are some people who would rather represent themselves in such disputes, but many are unsuccessful and end up in a financial mess even more. Find an experienced attorney who is familiar with the laws of the state to avoid making mistakes that could remove your chances of winning a Texas credit card lawsuit.
