If you still owe, then yes. If there is any unpaid balance remaining, the lender can sue you once you default on the contract. keep in mind though that you will have an opportunity to speak in court, and if you show that you have continued to pay, and it is the limit of your ability, it is very possible the judge will agree and set what you have been paying as your new payment schedule. It is also possible he will deny the judgment and dismiss the suit.

How do you get a creditor to withdraw late payment reports that occured after you filed BK if the creditor claims they can continue to report this?

If the account with the late payments was discharged in the bankruptcy, that account needs to have all information removed except for the "discharged in bankruptcy" (or similar) statement. Once the account is discharged, continuing to show late payments is like hitting the consumer twice. Send the original creditor copies of the pertinent pages from your bankruptcy papers, copies of your id, ss card and a letter requesting that they change the way the account is being reported to the bureaus. Concurrently, write the bureaus and request the same changes. If you are not successful, you may have to file suit to have the information shown accurately.


What to do if a creditor still says that you owe them after a cancellation of debt?

Ask the creditor to send you written verification of the debt including all of their documents after incurring the debt. If the cancellation of the debt is not indicated in their documents, then dispute the debt by providing your written notification of cancellation of the debt to the creditor and if unsuccessful, then dispute the debt with the credit bureaus who will initiate an investigation with the creditor and the credit bureau will usually repond to you in 30 days. If no response from the creditor then it will usually be deleted from your credit report. If the collection harassment continues then ignore it realizing that probably no legal action will be taken against you or you can contact an attorney to contact the creditor. Either pay the debt or file bankruptcy.

Can a creditor garnish wages if you send them a small amount of money?

Yes, if the creditor chooses to sue the borrower and receives a judgment award the borrower's wages can be garnished. Please be advised, once a lending contract has been defaulted the lender can take whatever action they choose, the fact that they may accept a lower payment then originally agreed on does not mean they cannot pursue a lawsuit.

What happens to judgment when the plaintiff goes out of business?

The judgment is still collectable, it does not simply go away. The creditor may assign the debt to a third party, who has full authority to collect it, however the creditor may notify you, the judgment debtor, ehere and when to send payments. its still a judgment against you, and will remain so until the creditor instructs the Clerk to cancel it, by stating you have paid, or rather "satisfied" the judgment against you.


Can I stop sending payments to a debt collector and send them to the original creditor instead?

The simple answer is yes. You are creating then more paperwork, more opportunities for the payment to get lost, and less of a guarantee that the debt collector will adjust your credit bureau information. It is best to just send payments to the collector.

Can an account be sent to collections if you are making monthly payments?

If the payments are not suitable in size to the creditor, then yes. This commonly happens with medical bills. Hospitals and clinics are not required to extend the courtesy of credit to anyone. Payment in full tends to be the policy. If you owe thousands and are only paying a small amount (like 50 every month) they will send it to collections.


If the monthly statement is not received where do you send the payment?

If the monthly statement is not received, you still need to send in your payment. If you do not have the address, you need to call your creditor to see where the payment should be mailed to.

Is it better to pay original creditor who still owns account or debt collection agency who is collecting for original creditor?

Paying the collection agency will clear up your account much quicker and some creditors will return the payment to you if you send it directly to them. Most creditors sign a contract with a collection agency and cannot discuss the debt with the debtor once they place it with the agency, they must refer all correspondence, communications and payments to the agency for the life of that contract.

What happens if a creditor receives a cease and desist letter from a debtor?

Then the creditor must cease any attempt to collect the debt. It means the creditor is not allowed to call debtor, or send the bill to debtor's address or to make any further attempts. If the creditor still call the debtor, the debtor may complain and initiate a lawsuit. But usually the creditor will take the debt to court when a debtor serve him with cease and desist letter. It could be as soon as 3 months up to a year.
