Do credit card companies really sell your debt to a collector? Aren’t they happy enough with 30 days of interest if you are 1 day late?
There is a HUGE business in selling your credit card debt and virtually all other kinds of debt to debt collectors. It happens all the time, and involves billions of dollars of debt. Many times, these debt buyers cannot or do not want to take the time to properly prove the debt is yours, or that the amount you are seeking is accurate. Sometimes, the credit card companies tell those debt buyers that they will not provide any warranty that the amount reported is accurate. If you get sued by a debt collector who bought your debt from a credit card company, bank or other financial institution, you may have several very good defenses. If you are in this situation, call us for a free consultation about your rights and defenses.
