i just got a summons today from borack and associates for a debt. what should be my first move, should i call them and try to settle out of court or go to court and see what judge says. by the way the name at the bottom of summons (signature of lawyer) does not appear on the borack website!?! i find it a bit odd!!! thanks for any kind of help!

I am assuming you already received a dunning letter stating you had thirty days to respond and dispute the debt, or it would be assumed the debt is yours? You need to answer the summons, for sure. And if you feel you can negotiate a pay off, and are sure this debt is yours, nor do you dispute the amount, then by all means negotiate a pay off with them. Just make sure you answer the summons in the time allotted.

send them a DM letter. I had a case brought against me by these people. I never got summons but was sent a dimissal letter. They called my parents house and i return there phone call. They couldn't answer any of my questions and couldn't even tell me who the originator creditor was. do a search on this web site for them and you will find other information about them.

Hi, I am scheduled to go to court in 2 days for a car repo in 2001. Portfolio called today to try and work out a payment. What should I do. I am pretty sure that the SOL is up in Tn. ( 6 years )

If you have a legitimate court date, you must go or they will get a judgement against you and once they have a judgement place liens on your property and garnish your wages.

Welcome to the community Smoody0923.
Guest is correct, if you don't show up in court they will get a default judgment, however by going to court you can use SOL as an affirmative defense.

If you received a summons, you definitely need to respond and show up in court. Otherwise, the collection agency will get a default judgment against you. Then they can lien your property and/or garnish your wages (unless you live in a non-garnishment state).

Was $2000 the balance of your account when the credit card company charged it off? Or was $500 the balance of your account at the time of charge off and the collection agency added interest to bring the total to $2000?
