Ignoring a Letter of Demand (LOD) does not make the debt disappear. It signals to the creditor that you refuse to pay, paving the way for them to file a civil claim in the State Courts. If you fail to respond to the subsequent court summons, a Default Judgment will be entered against you, allowing them to seize assets or garnish your bank accounts.
