...can you expect at trial? My sister has been served with a civil suit by a credit card company. She has for the past 8 years disputed the amount owed, but always been ignored. Her minimum payment was more than doubled, and she could not afford to pay that much, back and forth, she stopped sending payments until the co. will adjust the balance in dispute and reduce the monthly payments. 8 years ago they had settled, and she was to pay a fixed interest rate for the remaining of the balance, and no change was supposed to happen, but they did increased the interest to double. She works very hard, 2 jobs, since her husband became disabled and had no insurance. The company called her and offer to settle for an amount, and they were going to call later to indicate how to make the payment to settle. they called to inform her that the deal was not accepted, and she had to pay all +++. She got almost all the amount to be paid, loaned and donated by family and friends, and now is is not accepted. I live in a different State, but I will take time off to be with her at the trial. She contacted an Attorney that sent her a letter, and he wants more than the claim, needless to say, she can not afford legal representation.
Has anyone here had experience with this kind of suits? where can I find information online, as to how to proceed. I will be gratefully for all your help.
God Bless
