What if I receive a letter from a credit card lawyer?

Received a letter from a lawyer indicating that the bank has issued an ultimatum. In this case, the following measures should be taken:

1. You can contact the bank to confirm the solution first. The debtor can give the bank a repayment plan. If the bank accepts it, there is no problem as long as it is fulfilled in accordance with the regulations.

Although it doesn't mean that the other party will sue after receiving the lawyer's letter, it can't be ignored. According to the regulations of the bank, the legal department of the bank will file a lawsuit according to the procedure. After a formal lawsuit is filed, a court summons is usually received within two weeks.
