jenny asked:
At what point does the statute of limitations wear out in the state of TN when trying to collect a debt. I ran up credit cards in desperation during a divorce and haven’t been able to afford to pay them back. Now I’m being sued to pay the money owed….I make $10.00 an hour and have 1 child still at home. Also, could they garnish my wages making this little amount of money?

Mongosdad asked:
A process server came to my door last year with papers to appear in court for a debt collection. I attended that one and making monthly payments. She advised under her breath to tell the court that have “psychiatric problems and do not remember any charges made”, etc. She said to tell them I was seeing a psychiatrist and cannot remember using the card.
Is this true? This was a process server!
