You Can Still Win This Case Even If You Once Owed the Money
You were just served with a lawsuit. That does not mean they automatically win. Many people assume that if they once had a credit card, the case is over. That is not how Alabama courts work.
Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC does not win just because they filed a lawsuit. In your case, they must prove that they legally own your specific account and that the amount they are claiming is accurate. They must show:
- They legally own your exact account
- The account was properly assigned to them
- The amount they are claiming is accurate
- Their records are admissible under Alabama evidence rules
If you do not respond, the court can enter a default judgment against you. If you respond properly and on time, they must prove every element. The burden is on them, not you. You still have leverage. But only if you act.
Alabama Credit Card Lawsuit Deadlines Matter
If you do not respond on time, the court can enter a default judgment against you, even if you planned to fight the case.
A default judgment may lead to:
- Wage Garnishment
- Bank Account Garnishment
- Property Liens
The court will not require them to prove their case unless you respond.

Can Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC Actually Prove Their Case?
Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC did not issue your original credit card. Attorneys for Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC count on you not answering so they don’t have to prove their case. In many cases, what they bring to court is:
- A generic bill of sale
- A spreadsheet entry with your name
- Limited account records
- An affidavit from someone who never handled your account
If their paperwork is incomplete, inconsistent, or unsupported, the court may not accept it as proper proof. Attorneys for Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC want you not to answer, so they do not have to prove their case. If you respond and force them to prove their case, they often cannot, and the judge may rule in your favor.

Straight Answers to Your Questions
A default judgment may be entered.
No. Each case depends on its facts. No guarantees are made.
No. This is a limited scope defense for 1 credit card lawsuit. The goal is to stop a default judgment and force the plaintiff to prove their case.
Possibly, but many cases resolve without a trial once you respond properly. Your flat fee includes up to 2 court appearances if they are required.
If you are being sued and there is no judgment yet, responding on time helps prevent the judgment that leads to wage garnishment. If you already have a judgment or an active garnishment, this can still help, but additional steps may be required.
Yes. Settlement is always an option. The strongest time to negotiate is after you file an Answer and the plaintiff knows you are not going to default. If a fair settlement makes sense, we will discuss it with you.
