Yes, they do this all the time. You have to defend the lawsuit the right way to bring up the statute of limitations defense. I look for cases like this because in many cases this is an unlawful debt collection practice and I have recovered damages (for the debtor) in such cases.

If you are actually being sued for a debt that is beyond the 4 year statute, please contact me and remember that you only have 30 days to respond to the complaint.

Yes, they depend on people not answering the lawsuit and then they collect the default judgment.

The collection firm wants you to ignore the lawsuit; in fact they depend on it. Fight back and defend yourself. Just don�t be surprised how quickly they fold (don�t worry -- we won�t remind you we told you so).

We know based on our experience that the debt collection firms so rarely continue to effectively litigate the case if the defendant retains an attorney. We are so confident in this fact, we know our workload will not be overwhelming and therefore we can provide great representation for an affordable amount. Plus, once you get back on your feet, you may need us for other legal matters, such as preparing a will or starting a business. Our goal is to impress you now, so you come back later. Pretty smart, huh?

As a convenience for our clients, we now accept credit card payments.
