Summary: If you're being sued by a debt collector, here are five ways you can fight back in court and win: 1) Respond to the lawsuit, 2) make the debt collector prove their case, 3) use the statute of limitations as a defense, 4) file a Motion to Compel Arbitration, and 5) negotiate a settlement offer.
What Happens if You Ignore a Debt Collection Lawsuit? Ignoring the lawsuit doesn't make it go away. Unfortunately, it usually means the creditor or debt collector will win the case by default. If this happens, the court will issue a default judgment against you.
A fair settlement offer typically falls between 30% and 50% of the total amount owed. However, it's imperative to note that this can vary based on several factors, including how delinquent the account is.
