Sued by a debt collector? You have more power than they want you to know.
Most collection lawsuits end in default judgment — not because the collector was right, but because the person sued never responded. Collectors count on that. When you fight back with counsel, the odds change dramatically: they must prove they own the debt, prove the amount, and prove it within the law’s strict rules. Many can’t.
We defend consumers in collection lawsuits, including small claims and limited-actions cases most firms turn away. We protect paychecks from wage garnishment before and after judgment. We force furnishers and credit bureaus to fix credit report errors under the FCRA. And we hold collectors accountable for harassment, false statements, and unlawful practices under the FDCPA.
When collectors break the law, we make them pay. The FDCPA and FCRA include statutory damages and fee-shifting — meaning when you win, the collector can be ordered to pay your attorney’s fees. We prepare every case, however small, as one we’re willing to try.
