Debt Collection Process and Your Rights

How Debt Collectors Like Credit Corp Solutions Operate

Debt collectors like Credit Corp Solutions operate by purchasing delinquent debts from original creditors and then attempting to collect these debts from consumers. This process typically involves sending letters and making phone calls to the consumer, and in some cases, filing lawsuits to obtain a court judgment. It’s important to understand that debt collectors are not always accurate in their claims. Mistakes can happen, and sometimes the debt they are trying to collect may not even be yours.

Consumers have rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) to protect themselves from unfair and deceptive practices. This federal law regulates how debt collectors can interact with you, ensuring that you are treated fairly and with respect. Knowing your rights can help you navigate the debt collection process more effectively and protect yourself from potential abuses.

Your Rights Under FDCPA

How to dispute Credit Corp Solutions?

1. Show Up 

First, don’t bury your head in the sand!  Florida Courts are divided into 3 levels depending on how much the lawsuit is for:  small claims, county court, and circuit court.  In small claims cases, a defendant is required to attend a hearing early on called a “case management conference”; whereas in county court and circuit court, the defendant has 20-days to file a written response from the day the lawsuit papers are served.  If a defendant doesn’t appear (in small claims) or they fail to respond (in county court or circuit court), the court will likely enter a default judgment against them.  Make sure to respond (or hire someone to do so) so you don’t lose off the bat!

2. Review the claim

Next, review the records from the case.  When a lawsuit is based on the records of another company, it may be that the records are inaccurate.  Review the claim and don’t assume it is correct just because they have written it.  See if the claim and the amount are accurate.

3.  Consider your options

Evaluate the alleged debt from the lawsuit, along with your other debt and your income.  Is there a defense to the claim?  Can you realistically afford settlement, or does it make more sense to consider bankruptcy?  Here is where you may want to have a free consultation with a debt resolution professional who can help you to objectively review your options.

4.  Negotiate

Assuming bankruptcy is not your best option and depending on the merits of your case, negotiation may be the next best step.  If you hire a debt settlement attorney to assist you with the lawsuit, your attorney will negotiate for you.  However, if you are determined to go it alone, you are generally better talking to the opposing firm than doing nothing (*this is a generalization; each situation is different).  Just keep in mind, they are not looking out for your best interest.  They are likely not going to tell you about your defenses to the lawsuit or your protections from collection.  Their job is to get you to pay.

5. Any Settlement Agreement Should be in Writing

Finally, if you reach a settlement agreement, even if you are representing yourself, your agreement should be in writing.
