The lawyer's letter just tells you that you have been entrusted by the other party to handle the contradiction between you through legal channels, and you can refuse to sign it.
Specific circumstances of refusal after receiving the lawyer's letter:
1. You don't have to talk to the opposing lawyer, but this may lead to your subsequent court summons.
2. You can also ignore the court summons, so that the court will directly judge the other party's victory because the defendant can't appear in court or passively confront.
3. You can lodge a complaint in 15. After 15, no appeal will be made, and the court's judgment will automatically take effect and begin to be executed.
4. If it still refuses to execute, the other party has the right to apply to the court for an execution order.
If you don't perform your obligations and communicate actively after receiving the lawyer's letter, it will cause the following consequences:
1. The other party may bring a civil lawsuit to the court.
2. If it constitutes a crime (such as credit card fraud, etc. ), the other party will report the case to the public security organ, and the public security organ will file a criminal case and investigate the criminal responsibility of the suspect.
3. Of course, it is also possible that the lawyer's letter sent by the other party is inconsistent with the facts and finally goes away, but it is only a rare case. In addition, after receiving the other party's lawyer's letter, we should carefully study the other party's intention and respond positively, rather than ignore it passively.
If necessary, you can go to the local law firm and ask a lawyer to look at it before making a decision.
As long as a lawyer's letter is issued, there will be corresponding legal responsibilities, regardless of whether the other party signs it or not. If the other party violates the law again, it can directly sue. What are the legal consequences of refusing to sign a lawyer's letter? If the parties are not sure about their rights protection, they will come to a professional lawyer for help.
