I received a lawyer's letter from the bank credit card. What should I do?

After receiving the lawyer's letter, the bank credit card needs to repay the arrears in time. If the credit card is not repaid, the bank can sue to the court and demand repayment.

1. If a bank brings a civil lawsuit to the court, the court shall decide whether to accept it within 7 days from the date of receiving the litigation materials.

2. If you owe RMB 10000 yuan, you still don't pay it back for more than 3 months after two bank collections, which constitutes the crime of credit card fraud and should bear criminal responsibility. After the public security organ files a case for investigation, it usually takes about four months for the procuratorate to file a public prosecution with the court.
