Q: Suing by the credit card company. What are my options? Need lawyer for representation.
A: A Virginia attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for over a week. You could repost under "Collections," where collections defense attorneys would have strong insight into such matters. But at this point, since the matter has been placed into suit, you probably have a limited time window in which to respond to a summons and complaint, typically 20 to 30 days in many states, depending on method of service. Although you are probably seeking more detailed and meaningful guidance, the best that anyone could probably tell you would be to arrange a consult with an attorney to review the papers you were served, review the history of the debt (it has probably evolved over time to reach this point), and outline your best options. Good luck
