This episode from Georgiou Law explains how January is a critical month for consumers with credit card debt. After the holiday season, creditors and debt collectors closely monitor accounts for missed payments, which can quickly escalate into lawsuits if ignored. The episode highlights that ignoring creditor communications increases the risk of legal action, but acting early in January—by communicating, documenting hardship, and seeking legal advice—can help prevent lawsuits and reduce financial stress.
