FAQ

Ignoring or avoiding the debt collector may cause the debt collector to use other methods to try to collect the debt, including a lawsuit against you. If you are unable to come to an agreement with a debt collector, you may want to contact an attorney who can provide you with legal advice about your situation.

Debt collectors have a legal right to try to recover the debt, and ignoring their calls and letters doesn't make the debt go away. It often leads to even more aggressive collection efforts, including lawsuits, which could result in a court judgment against you.

The dismissal ``without prejudice'' does not mean that you won the issue regarding the debt. It just means that the creditor stopped fighting in court without conceding that you won. So the dismissal ``without prejudice'' does not necessarily help your argument to remove this from your credit report.

Ignoring or avoiding the debt collector may cause the debt collector to use other methods to try to collect the debt, including a lawsuit against you. If you are unable to come to an agreement with a debt collector, you may want to contact an attorney who can provide you with legal advice about your situation.

The phrase in question is: “Please cease and desist all calls and contact with me, immediately.” These 11 words, when used correctly, can provide significant protection against aggressive debt collection practices.

The debt collector may file a lawsuit against you if you ignore the calls and letters. If you then ignore the lawsuit, this could lead to a judgment and the collection agency may be able to garnish your wages or go after the funds in your bank account.

A collector can contact you in person, by mail, telephone, telegram or email. However, a collector may not contact you at unreasonable times or places, such as before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m., unless you agree. A debt collector also may not contact you at work if the collector knows that your employer disapproves.

Debt collectors must follow the 7-in-7 rule, which limits debt collectors to seven calls to a consumer within seven days. They also cannot contact you within seven days after talking to you about the debt. They can also contact you at work unless they know your employer prohibits it.

If the case is dismissed without prejudice, prosecutors will have another two years to refile before the statute of limitations expires. You can contact our California criminal defense lawyers for a case review. Eisner Gorin LLP has offices in Los Angeles, California.
