MCM Bait raises a point most compelling, oft overlooked. One of many points of blight on the CA's hidden agenda of coercing you to settle is to yoke your life to their harness, to take control of you. By settling you waive your rights and agree to live by their rules, or else.

MCM speaks the truth. These scumbags will say and do anything to get money from their victims. Their court filings by which they make settlement offers - knowing they'll be read by the judge - read like a 'soft' death warrant. You sign your life away. Period. You did so of your own volition, full in the knowledge of the consequences of your actions. You've no way out.

Get this. You pay these sleazeballs in full. After a discreet interval, you get new bills from them or the CA to whom they sold your life.

Oh, but you've paid the bill in full. You've written proof. Fine 'n dandy, sez they. But that was the bill on the principal only. Not the interest on the 'courtesy settlement fees', nor the penalties for settling after the 'payment critical date' of December 7, 1941. Not to mention the 'service fee' charges and the interest on the 'one-time waiver of rights due dilligence assessment'.

Oh, think this is hypothetical? Think this is made up? A lawyer laughingly told this writer much the same when poop-splat toilet-stripe CA's present offers to his clients. The defense lawyer was obligated to ask his clients if they'd like to accept the CA offer - made only because the CA was trying to avoid the inconvenience of FTC charges, court judgements against them for filing time-barred actions, perjury, contempt, fraud, you name it. A walking pus-bag of felonies all wrapped up in a nice yellow-stained B.O. suit, with a talking fish-breath head sticking out the top, compleat with drip-nose adenoidal voice. And nothing, absolutely nothing, behind the eyes.

You'll fall right into their perpetual trap by settling, saving these vomit-bunnies the cost and effort of going to court.

As far as them getting a default judgement, look, this process is terrifying. You should be reporting your distress and the detrimental effects upon your health to your physcian. Might come in handy as evidence against these bums. Not nice when a CA causes damage to your health. Not legal, either. See that the FTC hears of it.

A default judgement by definition means you didn't fight. You didn't answer the suit, stayed home on court day. By answering the suit, by appearing in court, you increase your chances of prevailing, and discourage their predatory behavior. This is a numbers game. These pigs file suits in bulk knowing most go unanswered, gaining default judgements upon some of which they'll collect. Why whould they take time away from their easy money racket to fight with you?

It's your call of course but from the experience of those on the board, and as well sage counsel from WhyChat, Scott, LadynRed, Patti, Taziblue, among other fine allies, you can see you've much to gain by defending yourself.

Remember this is an upside down game. You pay the CA but the OC is not paid back. They try to scare you out of fighting in hope of gaining a default judgement because...
They are the ones routinely working fraud upon the court, they are drowning in fear. It's why they try to scare consumers. The criminal mindset is transparently obvious amongst the CA sub-culture. They're essence makes one want to vomit up fish-chunks all over one's new FBI wingtip shoe. To know them is to crave a shower.

Fishily,
