Debt Defense Litigation Manual
Our Litigation Manual is a comprehensive introduction and orientation to debt litigation. It discusses all the entities involved: debt collection companies, their lawyers, debt defendants and their lawyers, judges, court personnel, and even court security. It tells you what their interests are in the proceedings and what you should expect from them, how to act, and how to plan.
It also discusses the debt collection process, from missing payments to being served with a suit… what to expect your first day in court, and what to expect on your last day in court. We discuss most of the choices you will face:
The manual is about 250 pages long (with links to articles and videos on the website), and if you read it all the way through, you should know enough to start the process of defending yourself from a debt collector. You’ll find it handy all the way through the case, and originally it was intended to be all you would ever need.
Times change, strategies evolve, and a few rules are added or subtracted, but the material in our manual is “evergreen.” That’s because it talks about what happens to people when they get into debt – and American consumer debt, at over 4 trillion dollars, is at all-time highs. There are institutional things helping to bring that about, but there are also personal things you can do to protect yourself. We mention some of those in the manual.
