THE BEST LAWYER ANYONE COULD ASK FOR.

The BEST LAWYER ANYONE COULD ASK FOR!!! Todd changed our lives! He’s not JUST a lawyer representing us for a case. Todd and his office have become Family. When we entered his office in August of 2022, we entered with such anxiety, uncertainty, and so much stress. Honestly we were very lost. My husband and I felt alone. How could a lawyer who didn’t know us, know our family, know our background represents us, When this could change our lives for the next 5-7years that my husband was facing in Federal jail. By the time our free consultation was over with Todd, we left his office at ease. All our questions were answered and we had a sense of relief.

Asset Recovery Solutions Collection Agency Debt Help

April 22, 2024 Uncategorized

Dealing with Asset Recovery Solutions: A Comprehensive Guide

You’re here, because you’ve likely received a notice from Asset Recovery Solutions (ARS), a debt collection agency. Don’t panic, we’ve got your back. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about ARS, and how to effectively deal with them.

Understanding Asset Recovery Solutions

Asset Recovery Solutions is a legitimate debt collection company, but, they’re notorious for using aggressive tactics to collect debts. They may bombard you with incessant calls, send harassing letters, and even attempt to contact your friends, family, or employer – which is illegal.It’s crucial to know your rights, when dealing with ARS. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) protects you from abusive, deceptive, and unfair debt collection practices. ARS must follow these rules, or face legal consequences.

Responding to Asset Recovery Solutions

The first step, is to respond to ARS’s notice. Ignoring them, won’t make the issue disappear. In fact, it could lead to a lawsuit, and a potential default judgment against you. This would allow ARS to garnish your wages, or seize your assets.When responding, request debt validation. ARS must provide evidence that you owe the debt, including the original creditor’s name, the amount owed, and proof that the debt is within the statute of limitations. Don’t admit to owing anything, until they provide this information.You can also send a cease and desist letter, demanding that ARS stop contacting you. However, this doesn’t eliminate the debt, it merely stops the harassment.

Disputing the Debt

If ARS fails to validate the debt, or if you believe the information they provided is inaccurate, you can dispute the debt. Send a written dispute letter, within 30 days of receiving their validation notice.In your dispute letter, explain why you’re disputing the debt, and request that ARS remove the negative entry from your credit report. Be sure to send the letter via certified mail, and keep a copy for your records.

Negotiating a Settlement

If the debt is valid, you may want to consider negotiating a settlement with ARS. Debt collectors often purchase debts for pennies on the dollar, so they may be willing to accept a lump sum payment for less than the full amount owed.Before negotiating, ask ARS for a written settlement agreement that clearly outlines the terms, including the settled amount, and a promise to remove the negative entry from your credit report once the debt is paid.

Seeking Legal Assistance

If ARS violates the FDCPA, or if you’re facing a lawsuit, it’s wise to seek legal assistance. An experienced consumer protection attorney can help you understand your rights, and take legal action against ARS if necessary.At Spodek Law Group, we have a team of skilled attorneys who specialize in dealing with debt collectors like ARS. We’ll fight to protect your rights, and ensure that ARS follows the law.
