You have more options than bankruptcy when sued by Sample
You may be able to file bankruptcy if Discover Card files a lawsuit against you. It is not the only option. You can:
- Settle with Discover Card Often creditors will agree to a settlement often with a reasonable payment plan. The amount of the payment plan is going to depend upon your demonstrating hardships such as medical, job loss, continued under-employment, foreclosures, repossessions etc. The creditor may ask for a minimum monthly payment of $100 for lesser debt amounts. Be careful when settling a lawsuit with Discover Card because by calling to settle does not mean they will stop the lawsuit process. Some clients have found that they tried to negotiate a settlement but a judgment was taken against them anyways. While you can contact Discover Card on your own, you may find having an experienced negotiator on your side will make it easier to deal with Discover Card. Get a Quote
