What Do I Do If I Face A Creditor Lawsuit In Snohomish County?

If a creditor sues you in Snohomish County Superior Court, you must act quickly to protect your rights and assets. Washington State law RCW 6.27 governs wage garnishments, while RCW 6.17 outlines judgment enforcement. Here's what you should do:

1. Read the Summons & Complaint: The summons and complaint documents explain who is suing you, why, and what the creditor is seeking.
2. Check the Deadline to Respond: You have 20 days to file your written response with the Snohomish County court.
3. Contact an Attorney: Our Everett attorneys can assess your case and build a strong defense.
4. Review the Debt: Verify the debt's accuracy and whether the creditor has legal standing.
5. Consider Filing Bankruptcy: Chapter 7 or 13 may stop the lawsuit and eliminate or restructure your debt.
6. Attend Court Hearings: If you ignore the lawsuit, the courts could issue the creditor a default judgment, meaning the judge will rule against you.
7. Negotiate a Settlement: We can negotiate a lower payoff or payment plan to resolve the case.

If creditors are suing you, don't wait. Our Everett-area debt defense lawyers will help you fight back against creditors and protect your assets.

What Do I Do If My Vehicle Is Repossessed In Snohomish County?

If creditors repossess your vehicle in Everett, you still have options to get it back or settle the debt. Washington State law RCW 62A.9A-609 allows lenders to repossess vehicles without notice, but they must follow strict rules. Here's what to do:

1. Confirm The Repo Location: Confirm where creditors took the vehicle.
2. Review Your Loan Terms: Check if you have a right to redeem or reinstate the loan.
3. Contact The Lender: Find out how much you owe and if you can recover your vehicle.
4. Check For Illegal Practices: Lenders cannot breach the peace or repossess after a bankruptcy filing due to the automatic stay 11 U.S. Code § 362.
5. File For Bankruptcy: If you file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, the courts may allow you to reinstate your loan and get your car back.
6. Attend The Auction: If the courts sell your car, you might be able to buy it back at auction.
7. Consult An Attorney: We can challenge wrongful repossessions and negotiate better repayment terms.

If debt collectors repossess your car, don't wait. Our Everett bankruptcy attorneys have helped clients from Harborview-Seahurst-Glenhaven to Silver Firs reclaim their vehicles and protect their rights under Washington law.
