Yes, as long as there is an unpaid debt that is due , a cedit card company may sue and get a judgment against the debtor. The problem for the card company is that if there are no wages or income to garnish, it may have to go after other assets the debtor owns or just wait until the debtor gets a job. Judgments are not court orders to find a way to pay them.

I would think so. If they get anything or not is up to the court. Some assets will be exempt, but I'm not sure what.

How can a credit card company sue you when you were not working when you received the card and are not working now and have no cosigner?

In court, "Sue" just means "ask". The credit card company is just asking the court to require you to pay the debt. Yes, they can ask the court to require you to pay. The way THEY view it: You took on an obligation to pay for credit card purchases. You promised to pay for future purchases and be responsible with your finances when you signed the credit card agreement. Then, every time you used the card, you signed an agreement stating that you would pay for the purchases. Now you're claiming that it wasn't your fault, that the credit card company is responsible because they gave you a card when you weren't employed... It was YOUR responsibility to only purchase what you could pay for. The credit card company didn't have a method of determining your ability to pay for your debts.
