Are the consequences serious if a credit card lawyer’s letter arrives?

Legal analysis: It is quite serious when a lawyer's letter comes for an overdue credit card. When a credit card holder receives a lawyer's letter, it means that the card-issuing bank is ready to sue the cardholder. But as long as the cardholder pays off the credit card balance, the card-issuing bank will no longer sue. The card issuing bank sends a lawyer's letter to the cardholder mainly to ask the cardholder to pay off the debt. If the cardholder takes the initiative to pay off the debt, he will not be sued. If the cardholder does not pay back, he will be sued.
