- An important tip is to call a bankruptcy attorney before looking up information on the Internet about how to take the law into your own hands. This information is not always reputable. If you do not have legal expertise or do not know the difference between a creditor and a scam, please read our blog for more information. Be wise! Call an expert!

Four Options to take when being sued by a debt collector:
1.) Ignore – typically a bad option. The court will award a default judgment to the other side and attach it as a lien, levy bank account and garnish wages. Also negatively impactful on credit score. The same as letting them win. Only a good idea if the person has no non-exempt assets (no job, no bank account, no real estate), or if only has social security.
2.) Fight, forcing the other side to prove their case. The attorney knows the law and can force the other side to prove that they are the rightful owner of the debt and that it is legitimate. Many times, they will agree to withdraw because they don’t have all the necessary documents. Fair debt collectors act. They often will back down and leads to dismissal. They rarely go to trial. The plaintiff either has the proof or not.
3.) Settle. With or without an attorney. Structured settlements either lump sum for a portion or a payment plan with something down. We typically do not assist with Settlements at this time.
4.) File Bankruptcy, Chapter 7 or 13 — the least expensive and the easiest way to deal with the situation. If you have a big mess, then you may want to consider this. You pay back no more than you are required to under federal law, which is often nothing.
