What is the name of your state? I live in Ohio. You've helped me in the past now I REALLY need advice. I'm married and recently disabled getting SSI checks. We have a house but my name isn't on it and I don't own any property at all. I haven't paid on my 3 credit cards in over 3 years. One of the card's law firm has filed papers with my municipal court for me to appear. What do I do? Can they come after my husband? I have nothing in my name except my SSI check. Do I have to show up? It is difficult for me to walk and it would be hard for me to go to thte courthouse. Should I call their attorney? I've never talked to them in those 3 years. Help?
