What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
My name is Corrina. My Mom got a phone call today from a debt collector, telling her that if she doesn't pay this debt, that she will be prosecuted and sent to jail. He said that they sent her several notices from seven different agencies, which we never got any notices from at all! Can she go to jail if she isn't able to pay this debt? It's from a pay day loan she took back in 2004, because she had to quit her job to take care of her dying Father. She didn't get on her disability benefits until years later and we were never notified in any way shape or form until today about this collection. What can she do legally? Can someone please help us with some advice?
