We have helped thousands of Oregon and Washington residents in your situation, and we can help you. Call our Washington and Oregon debt collection attorneys today to discuss your options.

IF YOU DO NOTHING

The debt collection firm that sued you will likely obtain a default judgment against you. If this happens, it may garnish your wages, empty your bank accounts and, if you own any real estate, attach a judgment lien to the property.  

The worst thing you can do is nothing and yet that’s what most people do.  They don’t respond to the lawsuit and then a default judgment is filed against them. That gives the company that sued you the POWER to seize your bank accounts and garnish income. 

This isn’t going to magically go away.  The time to act is now. Not a week from now while you “think about it.” Checking out your bank balance only to find out that it has been emptied without any warning feels horrible. So does having paperwork sent to your work instructing your boss to start garnishing your wages. Call our Washington and Oregon debt defense lawyers at 866-388-5106 to learn more!
