American Express is Suing Me

American Express is suing me.

Which I can understand. I was in compliance of my contract while employed, now can only pay the basics to survive.

I know there are a few things that credit card companies do that are unjust but are legal. I can not afford a lawyer and need to write a legal response.

*CAN YOU HELP?*

I know the difference from the law and what is fair, please help me in response to the law. What are my arguments? Did AMEX unjustly benefit from my misfortune in contracted fees?

I do not know. You can email me at markmason@cfl.rr.com or respond here.
