Credit card Communication tactics Threatened to take legal action Illinois

Hello, I am hoping you can help me, please. Back in -/-/- when I was -, I got my first Credit Card through - -. I barely had any work history so I never thought I 'd get approved, but decided to try anyway. Fast forward through a few years, I tried to make it living on my own and racked up a lot of credit card debt. This card was closed with a balance of somewhere in the mid to high -. In -/-/-, a judgment was opened against me and they asked me to appear in court ; which I declined due to a snow storm and the long commute, but my father and I spoke with whoever was handling the case at the time and tried to offer a settlement. They were coming after me for over - and we tried to settle for a little over - paid in full, but they declined. Since -/-/-, I did not have any kind of stable employment, I was a college student and worked on paying off my smaller debts and rebuild my credit. Last year, they tried to come after me again by garnishing my wages when I

mortgage ( house is in my boyfriends name only ), bills, car payment, paying our pet sitter, etc ... I barely have $300.00 left for myself for two weeks for food and gas and to do anything fun for myself on the weekends, and now they are threatening to garnish my wages again by the end of -. If this happens, everything I worked so hard for, all the debt I paid off, the credit I built will be for nothing. My job is moving to a new location in - that is - miles from my house, and I am trying to buy a house closer to work, but until then if my wages are garnished I definitely wo n't have enough money to get to work. If this debt is not 7 years old yet, it is very close to 7 years old. I will need to obtain my detailed credit report for the exact date since - - is limited. They are coming after me for $4400.00
