Debt Collection Defense Attorney in St. Paul, Minnesota

At Peterson Legal, our debt collection attorney in St. Paul, MN focuses almost entirely on representing people sued for failing to pay unsecured debt, like credit cards, student loans and medical bills. If a consumer fails to pay on one of these unsecured debts, a physical item is not reclaimed or repossessed.  Instead, when a creditor cannot recover the amount owed on an unsecured debt, that account is sometimes sold to a junk debt buyer. 

Junk Debt buyer companies buy bad debts, usually for pennies on the dollar. Their business model is based on trying to collect the full amount from the consumer, which results in a high profit margin for them. Likely, you are unfamiliar with and have no relationship to these companies. Some of the junk debt buyers we frequently come across include: 

• Midland Funding, LLC
• Midland Credit Management, Inc
• LVNV Funding, LLC 
• Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
• Jefferson Capital Systems, Inc
• Crown Asset Management, LLC
• Unifund CCR, LLC 
• Cavalry SPV, LLC 
• Razor Capital, LLC 
• Asset Acceptance, LLC 
• Absolute Resolutions Investment, LLC

Call a Debt Collection Lawyer in St. Paul, Minnesota to help you beat the debt collectors

If you've had contact from any of these companies, you may have quickly realized that junk debt buyers and their attorneys make it difficult to obtain information about your alleged debt. As far as they're concerned, it's a one-way street: they expect you to share your private, personal details but won't tell you anything in return. Instead, they simply demand payment for the balance-in-full, without explaining how they arrived at that amount. For many consumers, this situation feels unwinnable.

However, we know that not only is it possible to navigate and negotiate with these companies, but we can help you beat them. Once we get past all their bluster and chest-pounding, we discover they are often unable to prove that they purchased the debt or that you owe anything in the first place.

This is where our tough, experienced debt collection lawyer and staff at Peterson Legal comes in. Junk debt buyers have attorneys looking out for their best interests, and we are here to look out for yours. By hiring us, you receive 

• a better understanding of your rights;
• answers regarding who is suing you and the basis for their claim; 
• someone who will interact on your behalf with the other side; 
• a successful outcome in the form of either a negotiated settlement or, even better, dismissal of the claim.
