Why You Need an Attorney to Handle Your Debt Collection Lawsuit?

Trying to handle a legal issue on your own in court is challenging at best. Without professional help, you can fall prey to pitfalls, make inadvertent mistakes, and be overwhelmed by the system. With one of our highly-skilled and experienced attorneys by your side, your chances of gaining a better outcome are enhanced. We fight debt lawsuits routinely on behalf of clients across New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Our team knows the law, the court process, and how best to present your case before the judge. 

Debt Lawsuits in New York, New Jersey, & Pennsylvania

Debt lawsuits start when a creditor files a complaint against you as the defendant in civil court. You will be notified, called being “served,” with a copy of the complaint stating why you are being sued, along with the amount of money you owe (plus interest). You will also receive a summons explaining how to file a response to the complaint, along with the date of your hearing in court. 

If you fail to respond by the deadline given or fail to show up at the court hearing, the judge will likely rule against you. This means your creditor will win and will be able to have your wages garnished or money frozen in your bank account to satisfy your debt. 

At this point, the creditor seeking this remedy is likely not your original creditor. Delinquent debts are commonly sold to collection companies. The debt may be one that you recognize or not. It may have originated a long time ago as a medical bill, credit card debt, or some other debt that has been forgotten. It may not even be your debt, as sometimes they get assigned to the wrong debtor, in which case the creditor will have to prove that it is yours to the court. Without proof, the lawsuit will fail.

Why You Need to Act Quickly in Debt Lawsuits

Acting quickly in these matters is essential. You will need to gather information to determine if the debt is yours and if it is accurate. The worst thing you can do is nothing, which puts your wages, bank account, or property in jeopardy.

At Graham & Borgese, our New York debt lawsuit lawyercan help by assisting you in formally responding to the complaint, investigating the debt for appropriate defenses (such as discovering if it has passed the statute of limitations), and representing you in court with a strategic plan for success. 

At the court hearing, we may be able to help you secure options, such as setting up an affordable payment plan with the creditor or settling the debt for less than what is owed. We will create a defense plan appropriate to the specifics of your case.
