A credit card co. is suing a friend on SSI for past-due match - is her disability a defense to the suit?

no route.. im waiting for someone to ask if being irresponsible is a defense..dont buy things you cant afford.

Absolutely not. Your friend spent the money so she owes the money. Her disability is a non issue in this grip. Before the case get to court your friend should try to settle with her credit card company. They are, within most cases, willing to stop the interest and work out a temperate monthly payment plan.

The party like to spend money on the credit card. So pay the bill. Her disability is no defense.

be she on disability when she spent the money?

Answers:
No. Why would it be? She owes the money regardless.

Social indemnity benefits are garnishment free. They cannot be touched. If that is her single source of income then they cannot bear her money but they can get a acumen against her in suitcase she goes wager on to work. Many people on Social Security are considered "perspicacity free". Also, if her disability is mental or emotional she can try it from that direction if she ever does work again. Sometimes these companies settle for pennies on the dollar. Also brand sure you know the statute of limitations in your state and how antiquated her bill is. That will make a big difference too. Many companies sue because they know they will receive something because most people settle but they don't enjoy much of a case. Also if she disputes it contained by any way they own to report to the credit bureaus that she disputed it and it is harder to sue on a disputed debt. I hope that helps.

Nope, her disability didn't stop her to use the card. She owed the money, she requirements to pay up.
