Willie Morales+FollowWhat Dave Ramsey says about Detroit debt lawsuitsFacing a court summons over $7,000 in credit card debt, a Detroit-area caller was panicked about wage garnishment and aggressive collection tactics.

Has anyone here dealt with debt collectors or court judgments? What worked for you? #Business #MakeMoney #Detroit00Share
