Can collector file lawsuit against her if yes what should she do..

Her doughter used some of her card..

Answer 1

find the free legal hotline that serves the area where she lives, and ask for legal advice on her responsibilities for the debt.

Answer 2

Nice daughter.

The debt is still hers, her health does not effect that.

Her daughter should pay this and e done with it.

However, if the daughter is a complete user the collector will likely have to wait and take it out of her estate.

Answer 3

I suppose if she still has a pulse she's liable for the debt, no matter who she allowed to use her card.  A collection company certainly can pursue her for the money owed, although unless she has some income or real estate they aren't going to get anything.
