Got served re: debt. Summon: The XO Spirit-Protector of Shitlaw
Poast new message in this thread
Date: November 18th, 2015 11:57 AM Author: diverse erotic chapel I had about 70K in 0 to 2% credit card debt and paid off school debt when I got shitcanned :) Naturally, I stopped paying the min payments on credit cards. Now I have a 55K 9-5 job in Midwest.
The plan was to sit this through and if things turn for better, pay off all or part, if things turn for worse, file Ch 7. Unfortunately 55K is not automatic Ch 7 territory, so I was procrastinating.
Well, one of the creditors filed in small claims for $3,000 . Does anyone know what would be the best strategy to settle this for 20% or so as "paid if full"? Should I go to court first or should I contact them and try to settle first?
P.S. Since "too big to fail" bailouts I have 0 moral qualms about not paying the banks back. Fuck them.

Google FDCPA issues.
Debt collectors are often unwilling or unable to prove assignment of your claim.
Assuming its a court with rules of evidence, refresh yourself on hearsay, business records, Rule 106, and shit like that. |

Date: November 18th, 2015 12:09 PM Author: Dun Talented Philosopher-king Do not admit to owing the debt. Make them prove it.
Look for any inaccuracies in the complaint and exhibits.
You can always try to negotiate it down to a smaller number by telling them you don't owe it and can't pay it even if you did given your school loans and unemployment. |

Date: November 18th, 2015 12:20 PM Author: Dun Talented Philosopher-king I don't really know. This is not legal advice, but if I were in your position, I'd file an answer with defenses so that the attorney knows they will have to go to the trouble of litigating this. Nine times out of ten they probably just get default judgments because the debtors don't file answers and don't make court appearances. They are probably hoping you will do the same.
