QUESTION
Can I be sued by a debt collection agency for a credit card that I defaulted on back in 2009?
Asked on Sep 19th, 2018 on Debtor and Creditor - California
More details to this question:
My husband received a call today regarding a $10,731.73 debt he defaulted bank in 2009. The charge off fell off his credit report 2 years ago and we are now being told by a debt collections agency (Miller Stark Klein and Associates) that they are taking court action against him for this debt. Is this possible? they want us to pay $5,250.30 today to settle this outside of court. Otherwise, they will submitted to the court and the debt will go up to $12,754.72 including court fees. We live in California and I'm not sure if they can actually sue my husband or if we are being scammed.
