Sued Again
The Constable knocked on my door this morning to serve me with papers informing me that I’ve been sued by Eaton Group Attorneys on behalf of FIA Card Services again.
They (FIA) already sued me and obtained a judgment against me in another state when the account was being collected by Wolpoff Abramson Attorneys. Then it went to arbitration and the arbitrator removed the attorney’s fees, court costs, excessive interest charges, and eliminated future interest being charged on the balance.
Then the debt was sold to Eaton Group Attorneys, a local law firm downtown.
I don’t know why you can be sued multiple times on the same account. I guess everybody who buys your debt can sue you even though you’ve already been sued. And selling debt seems to be a very big business. It must also be profitable since there are so many collectors playing the game.
This whole mess is actually somewhat comical along with being a big pain in my backside. From the tactics collectors will use to get to you, make you mad or get you to pay them first, to using the court system, it’s a better reality show than Survivor.
Now there’s an idea! Let’s have a debt reality show and the winner will be the one who pays everything off first and the loser is the one forced into bankruptcy. There would be no shortage of contestants.
