Debt Defense Myths Busted
Myth: "If I ignore it, it will go away."
Reality: It won't. It will turn into a frozen bank account.
Myth: "I have to pay the full amount to the creditor because I spent the money."
Reality: These 3rd-party debt buyers bought your debt for pennies on the dollar. They often don't have the paperwork to prove they own it legally. We force them to prove it.
Myth: "It's illegal for credit card companies to sell my debt."
Reality: It's completely legal. They can and they do, every single day.
When you opened a credit card, the fine print included a clause allowing the bank to sell the account if you default. They package thousands of accounts into massive electronic spreadsheets and sell them to third-party debt buyers (like Midland, LVNV, or Portfolio Recovery) for pennies on the dollar.
