The importance of combating When You're sued for debt

There is much to say about the law counterclaims in cases of debt, and I suggest you look closely at the text of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act the same as we consider what, if any, will bring the counterclaims. In this article, however, just want to say why they are so important counterclaims.

Why is it so important to a counterclaim?

In most jurisdictions, which is a fancy way of saying shorter and placesactor (the person filing the application) is allowed to close the case (called "redundancy") if desired. And usually whenever you want. This is not the case in federal court, where you have to ask permission, but in most state courts seem to be true. And debt cases are almost always brought in state courts.

This means that the debt collector may get tired of you and just close the case at any time.

This is great! This is exactly what we want andI have said we must go, right?

Yes, but if the debt collector simply dismissed the case, it could sue later or sell the debt to another person that you claim later, and that is definitely not cool!

Counterclaims avoid a lawsuit again!

So how to stop to close the game and re-file the claim later? To this end, the filing of a counterclaim against them. A plaintiff may dismiss the case, but notthe complaint against him.

Unless you disagree. So if you want to close the case against him, because their claims are good or not want to spend money in the game, you have to solve the case with you, or are still left to defend the counterclaim. They never do, because then you lose money in one way or another. He had been forced to pay you or your attorney (or both) - and without the ability to pick something from you. L 'worst of all worlds. It will not. Instead, you crack the case.

Therefore, a counterclaim gives you power over the complainant, maintaining at all until they decide to destroy (or "out" as it is called). The counter means you can put the harassment to end. And sometimes its counterclaim can be much more valuable to their case against him was in the first place.
