What the Debt Collector expects:
Debt buyers are always looking for the low hanging fruit. They count on most consumers not filing an answer with the court to the credit card lawsuit. After the consumer fails to Answer the lawsuit, the debt collector is able to obtain a default judgment against the consumer, allowing it to begin wage garnishment (up to 25% in Michigan), and garnishment from the consumer’s bank account (unlimited amount, other than federally protected funds). They know that the odds are with them. 97% of consumers Fail to Answer the Debt Collector’s lawsuit and thereby admit liability to all the Debt Collector’s allegations.
Once you have been ‘Served’ with a lawsuit, the clock starts ticking. You must respond to the lawsuit within 21 days of being served. If you don’t answer the Debt Collectors complaint within a proper time frame they will able to apply for a judgment against you for failure to answer the lawsuit.
