If JPMorgan Chase Bank Has Already Filed a Lawsuit

Frequently Asked Questions About JPMorgan Chase Bank
Does Chase sue for credit card debt?
Yes. Chase is one of the most litigious credit card issuers and regularly sues for unpaid balances on all Chase card products including Sapphire, Freedom, and co-branded cards.
What if I was never properly served in a Chase lawsuit?
Improper service is a valid defense. If you were not personally served according to your state's rules, you can move to dismiss or vacate any default judgment entered against you.
Can I settle a Chase credit card lawsuit?
Chase sometimes settles, particularly after you file an Answer and show you will actively defend. Settlement amounts vary but can be significantly less than the full balance.
Does Chase sell debt to collectors?
Yes. Chase sells some defaulted accounts to debt buyers like LVNV Funding and Portfolio Recovery Associates. If a debt buyer sues you for a Chase debt, they must prove the chain of ownership.
