Debt collection company Worldwide Asset Purchasing, through their attorneys (fellow debt collectors) the Law Office of Rory W. Clark, has dismissed yet another lawsuit shortly after I became involved as attorney of record for my client. This lawsuit, Los Angeles Court Case No. 08C02627, was filed in July of 2008, but my client wasn't served until December. My firm filed an Answer and served written discovery in late January of 2009, and the case was dismissed shortly thereafter. The lawsuit had demanded over $12,000 on an allegedly defaulted credit card debt.
Once again, it is extremely important to promptly act upon receipt of a summons. Failure to respond in writing with the court within the required time will result in a default judgment, which can then result in wage and bank account garnishments. If you are a California resident and are sued, or if you feel a debt collector has done something wrong, please contact my office (email psmith@paulsmithlaw.com or telephone 858-679-3396) for a free consultation. We defend lawsuits for a low flat fee and sue debt collectors on a contingency basis. Residents of other states should visit the National Association of Consumer Advocates to locate a consumer attorney.
