I had a loan out several years ago.
It wasn't a student loan, though.
Now, Asset Acceptance is contacting me and I have gotten a summons.
I answered it, stating that I didn't acknowledge anything, on advice of a lawyer (free one, 'cause I can't afford one).
I am now in communication with them trying to settle.
However, I'm seeing lots of things here that say I shouldn't settle. I would like to buy a house soon and this is the main thing keeping me from doing it.
If I get a letter stating that the account is paid in full, how can they sell this debt to another CA?
In the past, I had to settle on a car loan, but the actual creditor was taking me to court in that case. They did report everything paid.
Does a CA have the legal right to sue you? How can I find out?
The attorney I talked to didn't say anything about whether they could or couldn't sue, which I assume he would have, if it had been an issue.
I am in AZ.
The loan is for less than $5000, but I can't afford to have my wages garnished, so if I can't settle, I need to declare BK, but this'll keep me from a house longer...
What should I do?
