Why would American Express Sue?

Historically, American Express keeps its delinquent accounts rather than sell them to debt buyers. If debt collection options don’t work, American Express will eventually file a lawsuit. The problem with this step is that it may result in you having to pay court costs, attorney’s fees, and interest, on top of the debt.

Can you get sued by American Express?

What happens if I don’t pay my American Express?

Each month, American Express will send you a bill with the minimum payment due. If you do not send at least the minimum payment by the date on the bill, you owe a late fee. This late fee is added to your overall balance, and if you miss paying it, you’ll have to pay interest or further late fees.
