What is the name of your state? CO
So I got a Mileage Plus VISA card awhile back since I had awesome credit. But then I decided to go back to school full-time and ended up running up a debt of about $3,000 since I had no other way of supporting myself. I paid off a lot of it, but when times got hard I had to stop paying to pay for the main necessities like rent, etc. I haven't paid since January 2004, my balance has ballooned to $5700, and now the CA says I'm out of options and sending the account back to the bank. I've reviewed the SOL for Colorado and it says its six years, but here's my question. What can the creditors do to me now? I told them I was more than willing to pay once I graduate and got a job, but they won't believe me, and they want me to pay a monthly fee of $3-400, to show them I'm serious about paying them. But as anyone knows, a college student cannot nearly afford that much. Can they sue me now? I have no assets, no one to turn to for help, and I just want to wait it out till I get a job. I just don't want to get sued or taken to court in the meantime. Should I be worried? Any advice would help. Thanks
