Q: My husband is being sued for a debt owed to Conn's. We have no money as he is the only one currently working.
What do we do?
A: Conns has a lien on any of the items you purchased in their store if you financed them with the instore credit. This means they can ask for the washer and dryer or the TV back. You should file an answer to the lawsuit. If you do not file an answer Conns could get a default judgment against your husband. If this is your only debt, you should file an answer and then contact the attorney for Conns and see if you can come to an agreement. If you have other debts, you should contact a local bankruptcy attorney and schedule a consultation. You can search for an attorney using the Justia "Find a Lawyer" link at the top of this page.
