I just got served myself, so PLEASE if anyone can help that would be great! Looks like I will be filing bankruptcy soon.

Hello, I don't know if anyone can help me here but tonight I was served with for an old credit card of about five years ago. I am not working and can not find work, I am receiving unemployment.
This credit card was back when I had a good job and could afford it. My husband was diagnosed with Hep. C stage 3 liver disease. He lost his job and we survived off credit cards, paying bills. He filed bankruptcy but I can't file for a year and four months, until my old one falls off.
I live in Oklahoma and the debt in from Colorado, it is Washington mutual.
Can someone help me please.

Hello DownUnder, I am in the same pickle. I just got served on an old credit card. I live in Oklahoma and it is out of Colorado. I end up losing everything a couple years ago when my husband was diagnosed with stage 3 liver disease. I don't have any money, I am getting unemployment and my husband was in remission for awhile but is still working.
Any idea what I can do or what they will do to me.
Please help if you can.
Thank you

Thank you for your response. I live in Oklahoma City right now and the debt is from Colorado about five years ago. The debt is from Washington Mutual of 5 thousand dollars. My husband and I had excellent jobs for 10 years, he became deathly ill and was diagnosed with Stage 3 liver disease. He lost his job and we lived on credit cards just trying to survive until he could get a job. Well the job came too late because we ended up losing the house to foreclosure. I lost my job because I had to quit because the apartment job he job was five hours away.
Everything went into default and my husband filed for bankruptcy. I can not file for bankruptcy until May of 2011 because April of 2011 is when my old one falls off.
I don't want to file bankruptcy but I have no options because the 220 thousand dollars house that was foreclosed on and all the credit cards there were run up. Now with being sued and I have 34 days to write something, I am not sure what to do.
I have 17 months until I can file BK.
Please let me know if you need more information.
Thank you

My husband did include this debt in his bankruptcy, I have a copy of it.
He did file for disablitity but they are coming after me, so that is why I am upside down on this. I don't know if it is possible to file when I still have 17 months to go. I have to file Chapter 7 because we barely make enough right now to survive and a Chapter 13 is paying back.

Wow, Thank you so much. I will call him right now. And I can do this even though I did not file bankruptcy on it. We where married when he did file. Oh, my goodness this is amazing. Thank you

Oh my God, you are my hero. I will do it right now. I will let you know what happens.
Thank you

That was excellent advise but unfortunately it is not going to work for me! :( I did find the credit card paper and my name is on the credit card. My husband was signed on as a user. I called the old attorney who handled my husbands bankruptcy and he told me, that they can still come after me.
Any other idea? If you don't mind. I really wish it would have worked out for me...

I haven't used the credit card in over four years, last payment was around March 2007.

Thanks because I don't think anyone could understand what Sburd was talking about!
