If one or more of your credit accounts are severely delinquent, your credit company may decide to file a lawsuit against you. A court judgment will indicate to the credit bureaus that you avoided your payments, to the point where the credit company felt it necessary to get the legal system involved. Obviously, this can completely destroy your credit rating, and you’ll also incur plenty of legal fees that will make your financial situation even worse.
 How to avoid: First, you should be making your payments on time, well before a credit company would even consider filing suit against you. If it’s too late and the lawsuit has already been filed, you can take action to try and settle the debt out of court. Talk to your credit company in person to discuss your options. If you end up in court, it is much better to receive a paid judgment than an unpaid judgment. Essentially, this boils down to making minimum payments as soon as you are asked to do so.
