You have rights if you are being sued for a debt. The lender has the burden of proof, meaning they have to prove that you owe the debt. Lenders may threaten you with jail — this is a fake threat! You cannot go to jail for being in debt. (This post provides legal information but should not be taken as legal advice. For legal advice, consult an attorney near you. If you are in SC, can’t afford an attorney, and are facing a civil legal issue, call us at 1-888-346-5592 or online at lawhelp.org/sc/online-intake.
