Credit card companies want to recover their investment by all means and filing a lawsuit to recover is one of them. Apart from obtaining a lien on the asset that makes it difficult for the debtor to sell or preserve the asset during the bankruptcy process or otherwise, the suit can have a significant impact on the credit score of the borrower.<\/p>\n
