I have been disabled for the past 5+ years, and unable to work due to my health issues. Last year I stopped paying my credit card bills. I owe about 20k in total to various companies. I do not own a house, vehicle, or anything of much value. My only source of income is Public Aid/SSI/Food Stamps. I live with a roommate and pay rent and living expenses, which pretty much leaves me with nothing extra.
It appears now that I'm about to be sued by one of my credit card companies. In fact, it is one of the companies to whom I owe the least amount of money. The only letter I received so far is a Notice of Motion. They are trying to get the judge to make a "motion to post" because due to my disability I have not been able to answer the door so far when they have come to serve me with papers.
I thought about filing bankruptcy, but can't really afford to. What can they do to me? What should my next step be?
My other question for now is, should I send a letter to respond to the law firm right now? Or would it be better for me to wait and send it after they go to court to get the "motion to post" and then they leave me with the official summons?
Thank you for any assistance you can provide for me.
What I think is that, if you cannot afford to pay off the debt, you need to wait for the creditor or the collection agency to take action first. All that they can do is to sue you to the court and bring judgment against you either to garnish your wage or your bank account. Now, since ss benefit can never be garnished for credit card debt, you need not worry about that. All that they can do is to garnish your bank account so that whenever any money comes into your account, it gets automatically debited by the bank and deposited with the creditor. To stop garnishment of your bank account, you need to inform the bank in writing that the money that gets credited into your account is your social security benefit.

I am suprised that they are coming to your house to serve to serve you papers I have had stopped paying on my debt. of course they are not as high, but I got letters of action, but it all went into bad credit no on came to my door. Your roommate could tell them you moved couldnt he.

You said retirements can be ganish if it is deposited to saving account, how about if deposited to checking account?

credit
What type of income do you get? There are a few, like SS, that can't be 'disturbed'. Meaning, 'they' can't attach wage attachment to them. Disability, I believe is the same..can't have a 'wage attachment' to it. What kind of bill do you have?
Judgment Proof
If you own minimal assets and only receive Social Security Disability payments then a regular creditor will not be able to attach, garnish or seize this income. Although they can still go to court and obtain the judgment they are limited in their ability to actually collect on the judgment. For example if they were to freeze your account which has social security disability payments, then you would be able to get this reversed by going to court and showing that the money in the account is from SSI payments. What you may want to do is send a letter explaining to them your source of income and that they cannot collect from this income. This may discourage them from proceeding with any lawsuit.

im disabled and recieve disability/survivors benifits. i have a small savings account for emergencies. should i close it?
credit
Hi, Red Baron. Just one question: why would you want to close your savings account? Do you have some kind of debt debit comig out of it? Usually, with Disability checks, no one can have a 'wage attachment' from it. And, if that's ALL the income you receive, you need to let the creditors know ( if that IS the issue).

Paying OFF what you owe would help your credit score. Just coalosidnting your debt, since you'll still owe it, could make things worse, especially if you run up additional bills.

cc bills and disability
to avoid all pitfalls don't do chapter 7 or 13. do debt settlement, there are a # of companys. yes you will hear bad stuff about them but it works. you got 4 options. 1 don't pay anything, well that's not good. 2 chapter 13 expensive. 3 chapter 7 better than 13 but it has it catches. 4 debt settlement company, they handle everything. any letters you get you mail to them in free postage paid envelopes. do nothing but set-up a small payment plan pay em and your done. you credit score will temporarely drop but not forever.

Disability SSi SSDi or retirement
If the only money going into your bank accounts is one of these CC bills can not be taken out of yr account as long as you are not depositing other money into it.Now we all know we can only have a certain amount of saving or it will affect our checks the last time I checked if your single you can only have 2000 dollars worth of money and things of value total SS doesn't count 1 car your house and personal items that being said your best defence to do first is have your checks from SS is have them direct deposited and when your get your bank statement it says the deposit is from the Social Security office make copies and send to all your credit card companies as soon as you stop paying them.
