  1. there are a lot of conditions and assumptions in which a creditor can sue you.first and foremost, it must be borne that a mere default in paying instalments does not render you liable for suing.the creditor must by all means inform you about your arrears unless it is tacitly or expressly included in the contract that a default will lead to suing.
  2. secondly, if the debtor is in mora ex re the creditor can sue because being in mora puts the debtor in breach-here caution must be given as to whether the delay(mora) is because of debtors fault or it is because of Vis Major or casus fortuitis.if time and date were not specified in the contract then the creditor can not sue debtor for being in mora because here he can not be in mora. the debtor only falls in mora if the creditor issues him with a notice of demand known as interpellatio.once again the interpellatio must stipulate a reasonable time since it is unilaterally done by the creditor.if the debtor then fails to perform in accordance with the demand he is said to be in mora ex persona then creditor is entitled to sue.
  3. if debtor renders performance impossible either intentionally or negligently then creditor is entitled to all contractual remedies
  4. if debtor has given a guarantee that he will deliver then he must act pe se even if the object is destroyed by vis major or casus fortuitis
  5. where the debtor delivers positive malperfomance, the creditor is entitled to sue for specific performance,cancell the contract etc

Can a credit card company sue you after four late payments?

Technically they could, but it's rare. Most creditors won't bother to sue until after the account has been charged off (written off as a bad debt) after 6 months of non-payment. Some creditors will sue right after charge-off, others will go thru numerous collection agencies or just sell off the debt to a junk debt buyer, who might sue you at some point. In-house collections are notorious for threatening to sue if you're late on payments, but it's unlikely they will do so, it's a scare tactic.
