Debt Collection Legal Options
Summary
It is possible for the bank to file a small claims case for the unpaid debt. Non-payment of debt is generally a civil matter, so jail time is unlikely. Negotiating a payment plan with the bank and documenting your medical condition can be beneficial. Legal aid can provide personalized advice. Electronic communication from attorneys is generally accepted.Full Conversation
