Re: Credit card debt

Of course they can refer it to an attorney. The attorney will probably send you a nastigram, which darn well better comply with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, then he or she will probably sue you. If you have any defenses, you will need to present those at the trial. If you ignore the court documents you receive, a default judgment will be entered against you.
