Being Sued by Discover Bank? Here’s What You Need to Know

If you’ve been sued by Discover Bank for an unpaid credit card, you’re not alone — and you have rights.
Unlike many lenders that sell overdue accounts to third-party debt buyers, Discover Bank often keeps their own accounts and files lawsuits directly against consumers to collect.

In these cases, Discover typically relies on “business record affidavits” and attached documents to prove the debt in court. That means your defense may depend on challenging their evidence, verifying account details, and ensuring all legal procedures are properly followed.

At New Path Law Firm, we focus exclusively on debt collection lawsuit defense — helping clients respond to Discover Bank lawsuits, negotiate settlements, and protect themselves from judgments, garnishments, or bank freezes.

Review the Lawsuit Carefully

When Bank of America sues, the first step is to read all court documents thoroughly.
Look for:

  • Your court date and response deadline (usually 14–30 days)

  • The case number and amount claimed

  • The law firm representing Capital One

 

Important: If you fail to respond on time, Bank of America can obtain a default judgment, giving them the power to garnish your wages or freeze your bank account in many states.

Identify the Law Firm Suing You

Many people are surprised when they see a local law firm listed on the lawsuit instead of Bank of America directly.


This doesn’t mean the debt was sold — it simply means Bank of America has hired a collection law firm to pursue payment through the courts.


Knowing who’s representing them helps your attorney respond effectively and start negotiations if appropriate.

3

Understand the Nature of the Claim

Most Bank of America lawsuits involve unpaid credit card accounts or personal loans.


The lawsuit (called a petition or complaint) should identify the debt, include part of your account number, and specify the total balance they claim you owe.


If anything seems unclear or inaccurate, do not assume it’s correct — even large banks make errors.

4

Check for Errors or Missing Proof

Just because you’re being sued doesn’t mean the debt is valid or correctly calculated.
Bank of America and their attorneys must prove:

  • They own the debt

  • The balance is accurate

  • The lawsuit is filed within the statute of limitations

5

File a Response (Do Not Ignore the Lawsuit)

It’s critical to file your legal answer with the court before the deadline. You must also send a copy to the opposing attorney to avoid a default judgment.

6

Consult a Debt Defense Attorney

This is where New Path Law Firm can make a real difference.


Our experienced attorneys focus exclusively on debt relief, debt defense, and creditor lawsuit representation.

We can help you:

  • Challenge inaccurate or unverified claims

  • Negotiate reduced settlements

  • Stop collection harassment

  • Protect your wages and bank accounts

7

Consider Settlement or Alternative Resolutions

Many Bank of America lawsuits can be resolved without going to trial.
Our attorneys often negotiate reduced balances or interest-free repayment plans, ensuring fair and affordable outcomes for our clients.

Without a Lawyer

Default Judgment:
Most debt collection lawsuits end in a judgment against the consumer. This usually happens because the consumer did not respond, acted without legal guidance, or tried to defend the case on their own.

With New Path Law Firm

Favorable Outcomes:
The majority of our clients either have their cases dismissed by the creditor before trial or reach a favorable settlement, depending on the specifics of their situation. Our attorneys handle the process from start to finish, protecting your rights and finances.

What Happens After a Judgement

Bank Garnishment

A judgment creditor may be able to freeze or withdraw funds from your bank account. This can happen quickly — and often without much warning.

Credit Report Impact

Judgments can appear on your credit report as a public record, negatively affecting your credit score and overall financial profile.

Judgement Lien

A judgment can sometimes create a lien on your property, which may complicate refinancing or selling your home until the matter is resolved.

Property Seizure

In some cases, certain assets or property may be sold at auction to help satisfy the judgment.
