Question
I have recently learned of a medical account in collections that began at about $800.After speaking to the debt collector and my insurance, about $150 was taken off.I have been paying $50-$100 monthly since February. I received a summons to answer within 20 days.I have my payment history and can show that I've made 6 payments (if that matters).My balance is now about $340-without interest.I called the collection agency and was told that I verbally agreed (which is not true)to pay every 2 weeks and this is why my account has gone in the direction it has.I have no idea how to answer the summons.HELP!!!!!!

Answer
Learning how to answer the summons is not all that difficult. Tiffany W. from Shawnee Oklahoma became a creditwrench student and learned how to answer her summons. She went to Court and argued her case before the judge and then on last night's creditwrench conference call she reported what happened in court. You can listen to her story as she told it to us.

Copy and paste the url above into your browser and listen to her tell about her day in court.

You too can learn how to do it.

Expertise

Debt Collections law, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), federal law, how to properly answer court summons for collection cases, how to prepare federal cases against debt collectors, how to deal with debt collection phone calls.

Experience

I've been an active consumer advocate for more than 40 years and have helped hundreds of people win cases against debt collectors as well as helping them defeat demands for summary judgment lodged against them by banks, debt collectors and defeat mortgage foreclosures and keep their homes.

Education/Credentials
Paralegal courses for the most part.
I have been teaching people how to deal with judgments, mortgage foreclosures and other such problems both on and off the internet for many, many years. I am a Richard Cornforth information provider ever since 2000 and worked with many other organizations and causes since 1980. I was Oklahoma State Chairman for the nationwide drive to defeat the Constitutional Convention which was proposed by various factions within our federal government such as the Council of State Governments and the National Organization of State Governors who were working hard to organize a Constitutional Convention to be held in 1995 for the purpose of rewriting our American Constitution to be more acceptable to the United Nations. I worked with Senator Charles Duke of Colorado and Senator Don Rogers of California and many others across the nation to keep them from getting the number of delegate states required to lawfully hold a Con-Con and we were successful. I have worked with many other legislative issues in Oklahoma and have always been very successful.
