Credit card lawsuit questions
Clear, honest guidance from a North Texas bankruptcy attorney.
(817) 335-888001Can bankruptcy stop a credit card lawsuit?
Filing can trigger an automatic stay that halts most lawsuits and collection. Chapter 7 may discharge the underlying card debt; Chapter 13 can reorganize what you still owe.
02What if a judgment or garnishment already started?
Act quickly. Bank levies and wage garnishments move fast once a judgment is entered. Bring the petition, judgment, or garnishment papers to the free consult.
03Should I ignore the summons?
No. Ignoring a lawsuit often leads to a default judgment. Call counsel as soon as you are served.
