Debt lawsuit

Hello,

I contacted a Law firm for a debt I owed. They agreed to a debt settlement and it will be paid off, they told me that they were about to take it to court but now they would stop it. Well about a week later I received two letters from bankruptcy attorneys in the local area saying they had been notified a lawsuit against me had been filed, one of the letters said by arrow financial services and it had a case number, the other one didn't any of that information.

Both letters just say that they could help me in bankruptcy. Anyways the weird part is that also an 800 number keeps calling saying it is about a debt and all these happened a few days after I contacted the law firm.

I have not received anything regarding a lawsuit other than those two letters and the letters were dated more than a week ago. Why did all this start after I contacted the law firm?

Thanks for any help.

Hi MC,

First pull a copy of your credit report, and check if any judgment has been entered against you. If there are any judgments, you need to check who the creditor is, and what is the judgment amount.

Can I know whether or not you got the settlement agreement in writing? If not, then you can send them a letter for settlement through certified mail.

Thanks,

Aaron
