Default in what? A house, car or other. If you have proof of all the payments being made there should be no issue once you speak to a bank supervisor.

I'm not sure what type of loan your bank has stated you are in default on, but you should have an attorney review the loan paperwork and provide the attorney with all your proof of payment so you can get accurate advice on what your options are.

I am assuming that the loan that you are referring to is secured by real estate. In that case, a real estate attorney and / or a litigation attorney would be a good attorney to talk to. If you are thinking about bankruptcy, then you should talk to a bankruptcy attorney. If the loan is secured by a car or other personal property, a good litigation attorney would be appropriate.

Janet A. Lawson Bankruptcy Attorney | Janet Lawson
You need to be careful. Not all lawyers understand this area of the law. Go to NACBA.ORG to find a lawyer near you. There are bankruptcy lawyers and many of them understand the issues involved in this type of dispute. Many do not. You will have to question them carefully before you hire one.

Carballo Law Offices | Tony E. Carballo
You do not say what kind of debt is involved but it sounds like a credit card or personal loan. When you are served with the court papers you need to find a civil law attorney to answer and represent you in court. There are attorneys who specialize in consumer debt defense. The complaint filed with the court will state the amount owed and the dates you allegedly did not pay. Therefore, when you are served with process you will know what the bank is saying as far as the default. If you are not in default then you will win the case and may be entitled to have your lawyer paid by the bank and the costs of the suit. The Attorney General has nothing to do with a civil lawsuit for a debt unless you think there is consumer fraud involved. Just because the bank is mistaken or keeps lousy record of payments does not mean that is consumer fraud.
