Hi MackMomma
Welcome
If the majority of debts are medical and you are willing to pay, you should read here:
Medical collections/HIPAA process
For the others that aren't actually yours.....you could try disputing them with the CRAs but if you are listed on the loan or acct, you will need to try and get your name removed.
If you are working on paying your debts........or can make payment arrangements, more than likely a creditor/CA will not try to sue you... it's usually only when you ignore them over a debt that is for a substantial amount (like over 1k)
