Asked on Dec 19th, 2013 on Debtor and Creditor - Florida
More details to this question:
I have debt about 1500-1600 most is interest built up. I offered to make payments to the debt collector but they wouldn't take what I could offer at the time. Now I have this debt collector law firm contacting me at me job to pay them they made a deal that realistically I couldn't afford and still pay my rent. They wouldn't take what I could offer then they said it wasn't enough to make a payment arrangement with. Can they sue me after all this.

Sadly yes, they can sue you if you dont pay what you actually owe, rather than what you can afford to pay. On a positive note, they cannot contact your employer, so you might actually have an FCCPA violation we can help you with where they may owe YOU money for violating the law in thier collections efforts.
