absolutley, that is how they get judgment to collect the debt from your pay. be sure to fight them by written reply to their complaint.do not let hem win by default.
there are many defenses you can use. look them up and use them these are called afirmative defenses. after you answer the complaint you may be able to get them to settle for 25% rather than fight in court

The credit card company has the right to file a case in court for the collection of money that you owe them because you use their facility in paying for the services availed or goods you bought.

If you owe them money and they are not able to collect it, whether willfully or through no fault of yours, like losing a job, they still can take you to court to collect the money or get a judgment against you that will stay on your credit for 10 years.

Yes, a judge or grand jury will determine if the company has enough of a case to go to trial.

Yes it is. If it can be demonstrated by your credit file that you have the ability to pay others. (They do their research) Then you'll lose.
If you owe them big dollars and have assets, they can place liens on them. They don't forgive anymore and never forget.

Well kind of; like but just for the debt; that's all. Like they don't have debtor's prison any more.
