Important Things To Know About Credit Card Lawsuit Defense

By Allan Henry


There are many different types of credit card lawsuit defense. In this article I am going to compare and contrast a few different ways in which I have seen consumers defend themselves against credit card lawsuits. Some work better than others and some are more costly than others. In the end which method of credit card lawsuit defense that you choose is entirely up to you.

The three most common types of credit card lawsuit defense are: hiring an attorney to represent you, representing yourself on your own without any knowledge of the legal system, representing yourself after studying the credit card debt collection process. Each of these approaches can yield different results and depending on your budget, what you choose can vary greatly.

Choosing to hire an attorney as a credit card lawsuit defense is a sure way to get yourself a favorable judgment, if possible. The problem with hiring an attorney is the costs that are associated with it. I am not saying that the attorney's services are not worth the cost but most people who are in court for credit card debt do not have a lot of money. The cost of attorneys is surely the reason that it is the rarest form of all credit card lawsuit defenses.

The second and undoubtedly most common form of credit card lawsuit defense is representing yourself without any knowledge of the legal system. Many consumers feel that this is their only choice since they do not have the money to pay for an attorney of their own. These consumers end up winging it during the court proceedings. This type of credit card lawsuit defense is what most creditors hope will happen.

When you choose to represent yourself without any knowledge of the legal system, you become a sitting duck for the opposing attorney. I have watched countless times as the highly paid attorneys that represent creditors, try ten and even twenty cases in a row, all with costly judgments being made against the consumer. Do not let this happen to you!

The final, and what I feel is the best type of credit card lawsuit defense, is that of representing yourself with the expert knowledge that you need. Most consumers do not even know that this option exists. They think that gaining the knowledge to represent yourself successfully in court must be extremely costly and impossible to understand. This is not the case. For anyone motivated to look for the answers, they are there, and they can help improve your chances of receiving a favorable judgment immensely!
