Yes any company or individual can file suit over any amount due if they deem it worth their time and money. Some state have a "small claims" court in which smaller amounts (generally $100 to as high as $3,000) can be petitioned for. Whether or not they would try to sue you depends on many issues. If you are unemployed and have no assets they may decide it is not worth them spending more money on a balance they may never collect anyway. If you are employed or own real estate they may be more eager to obtain a judgment in which they could possibly execute on. I am not a lawyer but a former banker and just giving you general information that may help.

Discuss in detail the mechanism of credit card sales?

You might have to ask again. I'm not sure what you need to know so I'll try to explain how it works. You buy an item with a credit card. The clerk swipes the card through a machine. The machine is like a computer. If you have credit available it approves the sale. The purchase is automatically charged to your credit account. If you had $500 worth of credit, you now have less credit available. It's all handled electronically. If you are purchasing an item that costs over $250 the clerk sometimes has to phone a number to get an authorization code. The company who accepts your credit card has to pay 5% of the amount (of your purchase) to the credit card company. If you have cash & a credit card - you can ask the company to give you a 5% discount for paying cash. Sometimes a company will do it.
