    The people calling him claiming to be lawyers are probably sitting next to the people claiming to be the collection agency demanding payment. They're probably both employees at the same office just calling people up and scamming them into paying anything they can get. Anyone calling anyone demanding payment or offering to get you out of trouble is all a scam!

    It's not a lawyer that wants to settle their debt. The old credit cards funds were purchased by or being a representative of the original company either or. So basically he just pays the debt for the settled amount or he can wait a few more years and call it a day since most will sell off or write off the debt.

They try some stupid spread sheet and I asked to back up the spread sheet with my account number I used or the confirmation number. They tried anything to make it stick they tried that I made a payment with my bank account they tried saying I mailed it, PayPal they even went as far as I payed with western union well where's the paperwork that shows I payed ect. I bet you anything they aint gonna be able to produce it.

    Make sure you answer your summons. Do not allow them to file a default judgement on you for not answering the summons. Make them prove in court that the debt is valid. if they don’t show, then ask the judge to stop all collection activity and dismiss the case. Also check your state’s statue of limitation. You can often have a case dismissed if it’s passed the statue of limitations. But if you don’t show up then a default judgement will be granted even though it’s passed the statue of limitations.

    He stated that he hasn’t paid on this debt in 6-7 years. If that’s the case, HE OWES NOTHING because the statute of limitations on debt (four years) in the State of Texas has run its course. Hopefully he filed an answer to this lawsuit (with or without an attorney) because if he ignored the summons, then the debt collector automatically won the case and the right to collect/garnish regardless of the statute of limitations. Hopefully he didn’t settle this debt either because if he did, he got robbed and Dave and Chris both gave him bad advice. As long as he hasn’t made any payments in more than four years on this defaulted debt, the debt collector has no legal grounds on which to collect but if they file the lawsuit and the respondent doesn’t answer the summons, the debt collector automatically wins by default.

The only circumstance under which the statute can be extended indefinitely beyond four years is if there was criminal activity or negligence and/or intentional fraud involved in the accumulation of the debt.

Same thing happened to me in 2011 following the short sale of my home after the 2008 real estate crash. I was able to legally wipe out a $54k tax liability.

Also, unemployment compensation does not count toward that number further strengthening the debtor's inability to pay.

Texas as a statute of limitations of 4 years for this type of collection. After 7 years, the negative information is removed from the credit report. This caller may not have to do ANYTHING, frankly. The law firm is just there to scare him, which it's working. You just need to know your rights, assert them, and be firm. Moreover, very few credit card companies would keep such a low balance for that long. It's likely that they sold this years ago and that in fact this is a collector. Regardless, it doesn't matter. The FCRA and FDCPA applies to the original creditor just as much to the collector. Record-keeping in the debt collections world is TERRIBLE. Even if this account were still collectible, it is not at all certain that any documentation could be produced to show this.

    If you were never served actual papers, it wouldn't be a mailed letter(a cop or official actually has to deliver it to you and if you aren't home enough times they'll tape it on your door), then they haven't filed a lawsuit. This seems like a scam. Call the county clerk or the civil court office and ask them to search your name to see if an actual suit has been filed. If you got a letter from a collection company saying they are going to sue you, more often than not that's just a bluff to try to get you to panic and call them so they can say they've got you on record and can reset the clock. If they are serving you papers, call the company suing you first and negotiate a payoff(have the money on hand and tell them what you can pay, don't ask for options) and make sure it is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE, otherwise they can come after you later on and the agreement you made to pay it off will not be admissible in court. The company suing you will then rescind the lawsuit. Blows my mind that Dave never tells people to make sure the debt is dismissed with prejudice. That written agreement means nothing without those words. The other thing to remember, I know Dave says not to give them details, but honestly in this day and age the companies have such good investigating that they will find your job, etc. in very short order.
