    Thanks for watching!

    The issue is that the original creditor wont say they sold it, but they don't say they haven't sold it either. They tell me to talk to trak america. I feel like the only time i can get straight answers will be in discovery and even then the deck will be stacked against me if OC, trak America, and the law firm (doubled as a debt collector agency) are all on the same team.

    If a bill of sale is attached to the defendant’s petition then the debt was sold to a debt collector/buyer since the bos is what a debt collector likes to use to prove they own the debt

    Very interesting. In the latest book of papers I received from the lawyer for Plaintiff, there is an affidavit by the lawyer where he refers to the Plaintiff (debt buyer) but speaks as if he is talking about the original creditor, and in the same paragraph he refers to the Plaintiff as the debt buyer. So my question immediately was, "Which Plaintiff are we talking about? Who is suing me?" It's LVNV, but now it sounds like they are also referring to the Original Creditor, using "Plaintiff" to mean both of them. I will ask about this on Monday at the hearing.
    I have another small (maybe big) question: The person who signed as the Notary Public for the Affidavit did not print their name after or under the signature, which is completely illegible, so if I wanted to question this person I would have absolutely no clue to who he/she is. Is that legal, to not have the Notary Public print their name? Thank you for all your videos.

    Also.. during the pandemic, I opened a business. I used my credit card (I know.. only option bec the banks were all closed) and requested an increase in its spending limit. I was denied; yet the card example ($15k) continued to allow for another $15k in additional credit. I have both the federal and state laws regarding opt in or out on overdraft protection … but I also found some Covid related (temporary) laws. Firstly- thank you.. secondly- have you experienced that these consumer congressional bills and the agencies laws are relatively streamlined? Or would it be a good idea to cross reference all of the different protection laws? I hope this makes sense bec I don’t know quite how to describe it any better… again thank you so much

    Hi John, I'm being sued by Bank of America - the attorney they're using is the debt buyer. I called Bank of America to pay the debt, but they said they could not collect payment and I'd have to pay the debt buyer attorney. Does this mean the debt buyer attorney now owns the account, and that Bank of America should not be the legal plaintiff? Thank you for these videos.

      Your bankruptcy lawyer will file a "suggestion of bankruptcy" in the state court where you are sued. That should stop it but definitely check with your BK lawyer. Best wishes and remember about your credit reports during and after BK -- ruclips.net/video/8UkjBZuew2w/видео.html

    If the original creditor sold the account to a debt buyer/ collection agency. Can the original creditor continue to report to the CRA’s ?
    The debt buyer has never reported the debt to the CRA’s only the original creditor reported.
    The debt is past the statute of limitations.
    I disputed with the CRA’s - CRA’s investigation lasted 2 days and updated account with new information changing the status, date of last activity, date of last payment., closed to charge off.
    I have a letter from the original creditor that they reviewed the CRA’s reports and they did not receive a dispute notification nor that I disputed with the CRA’s . Also the OC reporting has not reported the account is in dispute
    How can the original creditor pull my credit report without my permission to review my file? The OC sold the debt yet the OC continues to report a derogatory account with the CRA’s including re-aging the account 3 times since I’ve disputed. Failure to mark as disputed.
    I have all of the documentation.
    Screen shots of credit reports, letter that I received from the original creditor/ debt buyer, credit reports, CRA’s verifying account as correct.

      @seatruth5737 3 года назад

      @@johngwatts the default judgment is against the person/company who is suing. I would accept the fact that I owe the debt. However, proof of claim needs to be disclosed to me/ prima facie evidence that it is in fact a presentment that I owe. My response to the Attorney would be a "contractual estoppel." Therefore any judgment made by the lawsuit would be "void on it's face."
