Sued by a creditor? Know your options before the clock runs out.
If you have been served with a Statement of Claim over a debt, the time to respond is short — and as a homeowner, you may have more ways to protect yourself than you realize. Spingos Law defends Ontario homeowners against creditor and collection-agency lawsuits.
Being sued for a debt is stressful, but a claim is the start of a process — not the end of the story. Many debt lawsuits can be defended, narrowed, or settled on far better terms once you understand the rules.

Home equity is what creditors pursue — and your leverage to resolve it
A creditor who wins a judgment can enforce it through wage garnishment, a freeze on bank accounts, or a writ registered against your property. For a homeowner, that makes the stakes real — but it also means defending or settling a claim early often protects far more than it costs. The right move depends on your facts, which is exactly what a legal review is for.
