Common defenses in Credit Card Debt Lawsuits

• Incorrect service of Summons and Complaint

If the creditor has not properly served, you must assert this in your initial reply in the lawsuit.

• Statute of Limitations

The time allowed for a creditor to bring a lawsuit against you is governed by Georgia law. The length of time is different depending on the type of case, and in breach of contract cases, it usually ranges from 4 to 6 years. The period usually begins at the time you last made an installment.

• Credit Card Accounts paid in part or in full

Payment is always a defense for the collection actions and is still a defense even if you have paid a third party.

It is also possible to assert this defense if you only paid a portion of what the creditor claims you owe. Creditors are not qualified to get a judgment over more than you owe.

• Discharge in Bankruptcy

If you have obtained a discharge under bankruptcy and the credit card debt was correctly listed on the schedules, you are not obligated to repay the discharged debt.
